A Bit About the Designer

I first met Michele in JFK airport - it was fate! After that trip, we stayed in touch and I've been lucky enough to get to work with Michele in several endeavors. Here we are years later, and I'm proud to call her a friend and inspiration.

Here's a bit more about Michele:

An NYC girl through and through, Michele has loved all things yarn-related since before she can even remember. As a child, she was inspired by her grandparents who, as immigrants, instilled in her a love for working hard and bringing dreams to reality.

After a successful career in touring and television production, Michele turned her attention to her love of fiber, launching 144 Stitches and the Stitch & Hustle blog. In 2017, Michele launched Stitch Up Events, promoting diversity and inclusion in the fiber arts community. Stitch Up Chicago has become a well-attended and favorite event among many in the fiber community, and Michele has begun expanding the event to other cities, including her hometown NYC.

In 2022 Michele co-founded gosadi with Hilary of Nina Chicago to help independent designers and artists streamline e-commerce management and increase pattern sales. Michele continues to design and celebrate her love of fiber arts in every area she can and with as many humans as she can.
