Have you ever dreamed of turning your creative passion into a full-time business? That’s exactly what Heather Burns did! In this episode of Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast, I sit down with Heather, owner of The Knotty Sheep, a charming yarn shop in downtown Wake Forest, North Carolina.
Heather’s journey wasn’t a straight path—she left the traditional 9-to-5 world to follow her love for fiber arts, faced challenges along the way, and built a thriving creative business. We dive into what it’s really like to own a yarn shop, how she took the leap into entrepreneurship, and the valuable lessons she’s learned along the way.
So grab your current WIP, a cozy drink, and join me for this inspiring conversation!
