About me

Sherri Bondy, Chief Procurement Officer

I've been a Stashaholic since $1.44 day at Woolco showed me the wonder of bomb-proof acrylic. Thankfully my taste and skills have evolved since then. I was diagnosed as an adult with ADHD Combined Type - which explains the impulsive startitis and attention gaps quite nicely. You'll find the adventures on the blog are usually around spinning, knitting, crocheting, patterns, some random bits, along with helpful tips and musings on life. I live with my hubby in Toronto and we're owned by two massive black cats - Cooper, my ever-ready Helper, and Angus the Fibre 'Ho.
