This young entrepreneur began with a passion and a love for crocheting. Katie Knight began crocheting in 8th grade. She did not start creating scarfs until her junior year of high school. She began by making scarfs to give to her friends, and eventually ran out of people to give scarfs to. In the spring of 2014, she began thinking of starting a business with these scarfs. Katie started up her Etsy store in July of 2014, and called it, Janella’s Accessories Store. Her scarfs are classified as Infinity Scarfs, and each one has its own unique personality and pattern. Katie is also my roommate, and she made me one of these scarfs last year. It is warm and comfortable and cute. I personally believe that the scarf making business is a big one, and people are very interested in purchasing products that are hand crafted and that are made with good material. I believe that with time and dedication, Janella’s Accessories store could become a thriving business.
It is so nice to hear of someone who is innovating on our own campus! She is a great inspiration to all of us that we don’t have to wait to make our mark until we graduate, we can act right now. Also her scarves look beyond adorable!
This is really awesome! I agree with Rachel that it’s really awesome that we have so many unique things like this here on campus! I think that it was a great idea for her to turn a hobby into a business idea. A great idea is just that, a great idea. It won’t go anywhere unless you do something about it! Glad to see she has acted upon her great idea! Great post, Kate!
