I cannot wait for the Hallmark Original,  Congresswoman Chellie Pingree: From Craft Store to Capitol Hill

In 1981, she started North Island Yarn, a cottage industry of local  knitters, with a retail store on the island. The business expanded  quickly, becoming North Island Designs, and employed as many as ten  local workers in peak seasons. The business sold knitting kits and  pattern books nationwide through 500 retail stores and 100,000 mail  order catalogues. She sold the business in 1993.


Knitting = change we deserve
