Whenever you interact with Lion Brand online, you’re probably talking to Jessica. She’s the one responding to your tweet, posting cool articles on Facebook, and answering your questions on Quora. She also makes some awesome knitting videos for the Lion Brand You Tube channel. Jess Hicks has been the face behind Lion Brand Yarn’s social media since 2008. She loves sock knitting and Batman (and, sometimes, knitting Batman socks). So pick up your pointy sticks, knit a little, and take a peek behind the curtain at Lion Brand.

I love knitting with Vanna's Glamour and the Superwash Merino. I've made some gorgeous shawls and purses from Vanna's Glamour.
