About LollyKnit / Lauren "Lolly" Weinhold

My name is Lolly, and I live ever-so-happily with my husband and my pets in the DC suburbs. I am an archivist and a librarian. I knit like there is no tomorrow. I am training to be a yoga instructor. I eat a lot of vegetables. I love nature and the outdoors. I read a lot of books. I watch a lot of hockey and am devoted to the Pittsburgh Penguins. I listen to public radio. I travel as much as I can and take lots of photographs.

My blog name, LollyKnitting Around, relates to my craft, but it is a personal blog that includes many facets of my life and my travels.

Thanks for stopping by!

~Namaste~

I'm Female and Taken.

Testimonials

Ühltje says:
"Lolly is such an inspiration to me. She explores each chosen subject into great depths and from unexpected angles. Take Project Spectrum for instance. Apart from doing all kinds of crafts suited to the theme at hand herself, she always finds the time to encourage others with her kind and observant words as well."

tiennieknits says:
"Lolly is one of those amazing individuals with always a kind word for others. She is encouraging and is also fantastic about getting people to participate in group projects to explore and improve their skills in their crafts. Not to mention she is a fantastic knitter, crafter, photographer, and blogger too. She is fun, upbeat and an all around great person - a real sweetheart!"

cauchy09 says:
"Lauren is that rare sort of individual who builds communities. Through Project Spectrum and Socktoberfest she's brought together all sorts of craft-y folks! She can also be found cheering everyone on with her rapid-fire encouraging comments on flickr. Top it all off with her really lovely knits--including some unbelievably speedy sweaters--and you've got one wonderful gal!"

Twisted Knitter says:
"Lolly's an amazing individual and is able to connect with people in a significant and meaningful way. She's great at mobilizing and organizing knitters and knows how to use tools like Flickr to get people excited about the knitting and craft world. I love her energy and attitude!"
