About Artemis

Fiberartist for 40+ years, community builder, and maker of tiny tools that help people feel seen and get unstuck. I host the Fiberarts Community, run Knit Happens Wednesdays, and build Joynery Boards that solve real problems quietly.

Why listen to me?

I've was a fiberartist before social feeds were a thing. I've taught, fixed patterns, untangled math, and built spaces where beginners and experts can breathe.

  • 40+ years hands-on across knitting, crochet, tatting, embroidery, hardanger, soapmaking, spinning, painting, and still learning.
  • Community-first approach. People over algorithms.
  • Toolmaker behind Purl (fiber-smart helper) and Joynery Boards.

Problems you might not know you have

Too many scattered links. Your people don't post because they can't find the “right” place. Momentum dies.
Quiet folks stay invisible. The loud get louder. The thoughtful never share wins, so wins don't compound.
Blank-page paralysis. Prompts are vague, forms are long, and “later” becomes never.
Logistics eat the joy. Sign-ups, resources, and updates live in five places. People give up.
No gentle accountability. Everyone wants progress time, but there's no weekly anchor to show up.
Tech overwhelm. Great ideas stall because the setup sounds exhausting.

How I fix it

We combine live moments, tiny tools, and kind structure. No busywork. No performance pressure.

Knit Happens Wednesdays

Weekly coworking (1–3 PM ET). You show up, make progress, leave lighter.

Purl, the fiber-smart helper

Ask Purl for pattern math, gauge help, or ideas. Plain English, zero judgment.

Joynery Boards

One link for gratitude walls, guestbooks, sign-ups, resource hubs, and more.

Want a venue or your own space?

I can set up a hosted room or a full multi-room venue for workshops, classes, or community events. We'll match your vibe, add the tools you need, and keep it easy to run.

  • Ready-to-use rooms or fully custom spaces
  • Joynery Boards for sign-ups, resources, and notes
  • Options for paid workshops and recurring meetups

What people say

“I finally finished that sweater that stared at me for a year.”

“The board made it obvious where to post. People actually used it.”

“Purl explained my math in a way my brain liked.”
