Gwen Bortner

Formerly I owned Knitability and was half the brains of Two Sides - Two Points a business partnership with Kellie Nuss (aka Kellamina). Currently my knitting world is on ConfidentKnitter.com where I consider myself a professional knitting instructor. Although I also spend time designing, my focus is on providing instructional content both in a class setting and in my patterns.

The majority of my time is spent consulting with small businesses on their operations. I also speak on improving communications and general productivity for work teams and organizations.

Entrelac is my favorite knitting technique and confirmed by a book on the subject, Entree to Entrelac. It starts with the basics for those new to the technique and concludes with some very innovative and interesting projects for those looking to push the boundaries of entrelac.
