My husband and I moved to the Portland, Oregon area in the fall of 2007. As lifelong Midwesterners we are doing our best adjusting to life in the Northwest. We are really enjoying it so far!
I have a degree in psychology and I was a licensed attorney, but I have not yet found what I want to do. For now I am happy to spend my time with my husband, our one-year old girl, our dog, and our two cats. I love to knit, read, and sew.
Hi! So you are moving to Portland and you like to knit? Well, that is just awesome! There are tons of knitting people in Portland. And, I know of one secret stash of knitters. Although you aren’t a student, you are more than welcome to come to Stitch and Bitch Wednesdays noon-1:30pm in the Women’s Resource Center at Portland State University. Everyone comes to knit and well, talk…hehe. I work in the WRC on the blogsite called shesheet.com. We haven’t officially released the blogsite yet, but there are a few articles there. Anyway, if you are looking for a place to come hang out, stop by and visit. We have all age ranges of people. If you’d like to learn more, check out our site at http://www.wrc.pdx.edu. Well, I hope you like living in P-town. Welcome! 🙂 kristin
