Freia is my lovely Chesapeake Bay Retriever Dog, I am the Knitwhit. In fact I’m the head Knitwhit, or so I’ve been called more than once. This is because I am the owner and lead designer of Knitwhits, a knitting pattern and kit company.
I’ve been knitting for over 30 years, and teaching knitting at City College in San Francisco of and on for the last 7 years. Sometimes I think I’ve learned as much from my students as I have taught them, teaching is a good thing and gets me out of the studio.
As for the dog, well I got her at 9 weeks of age in May of 2006 and she is truly a marvel, a wonder and a joy, as well as extremely exasperating and frustrating, and I wouldn’t trade a second of my time with her so far.
Thanks for visiting,
Tina

I can’t believe there is another knitter in the US with a dog named Freia (although I spell my pup’s name Freja). Is yours the Danish spelling?
I am a relatively new knitter but have seen some of your patterns sold in my LYS. Looking forward to trying one!
Thanks,
Jessica
Hi Jessica,
Not sure what nationality I spell her name, I just liked this spelling best for her! I’m of Norwegian and Swedish decent, but the spelling I use is neither of those.
Thanks for stopping by, happy knitting!
