She learned how to knit when she first moved to the US, in the summer of 2019 and hasn't stopped since. An enthusiastic knitter, in 2021 Sara published her first designs and started her own Youtube podcast, Day-to-Day Knits, on all things knitting. As a teacher, Sara focuses on empowering her students and giving them the tools and support needed to become independent and confident knitters. When she is not knitting, you can find her at work at an architecture firm in downtown Nashville or working on her flower and vegetable gardens. Even when she is knitting, she can be spotted strolling with her dog, Effie, or lounging on the couch with her husband Joseph while watching cozy British TV shows.
