Would you love to review knitting products for a living? KnitPurlGurl’s Karrie Steinmetz does!

Karrie runs the incredibly popular knitting product review site KnitPurlGurl.com. Since 2008 she has been providing great content that has helped many a fiber lover make better buying decisions. She loves everything to do with the fiber arts and talks about it on her KnitPurlGurl podcast. She has some great advice for bloggers that I think you’re really going to enjoy. So sit back, pick up your pointy sticks, and enjoy the show.
