E443: An Update on Knitting.com (Clearing The Air About Our Intentions)

A lot has happened since the big announcement about Knitting.com. It went viral, but not for the right reasons. In this episode, Mike and Dave set the record straight.

 

Shortly after we released the blog post and podcast about Knitting.com, we got into hot water with members of the knitting community.

 

While we’ve gotten some pretty harsh comments, we’ve also received helpful advice from knitters that we will definitely implement as we grow this business.

 

Looking back, we realized that there were certainly points we could’ve articulated better, but there’s no point in dwelling in the past.

 

In this podcast, we hope to shed light on our business plan and hopefully, clarify some details.
