Shownotes

Ellen describes herself a tech editor and occasional designer who identifies as queer and neurodivergent.

She speaks about how knitting feeds her inner engineer and allows her to use some skills that she might otherwise have explored in her career. She also talks about the ways in which knitting helps her to connect to family, friends and a new community.
