Meet the Stitch Ambassadors
Marly learned to crochet in 1999 from her grandmother and in 2004 learned
to knit from a dear friend. From the moment she picked up the hook and
needles Marly knew that she had to be a part of this industry. In 2006 she
quit her job to do just that.
This is where it all started for Marly Bird. In 2006 she decided to start
2 blogs, one for knitting and one for crochet. It wasn't long before her
passion for both crafts made her decide to make the 2 blogs into 1 and
call it Yarn Thing since it's all about the yarn, not the craft you do to
use the yarn.
About 6 months into blogging, another blogger suggested that Marly start a
podcast. After asking Jeeves, "what is a podcast?", Marly started what is
now known as The Yarn Thing Podcast in 2007. With a BA in Speech
Communication from Colorado State University, it seemed that a podcast all
about Marly’s love for crochet and knitting was a logical step for her to
make.
In 2018, after the success of her YouTube Channel, Marly changed the
podcast from an audio only format to a video format and now hosts the show
on YouTube. The show is now better than ever as the guest can not only
talk about what they love but show us the listeners/viewers the items as
well. Check out the Yarn Thing Podcast playlist on YouTube to catch up on
some of the latest episodes.
