Marly Bird is bi-crafty - a knitter who also crochets! She has been podcasting about the craft since 2007! She is the national spokesperson for Red Heart Yarns and she\u2019s the host of the YarnThing podcast. She\u2019s an author and designer with a prominent YouTube channel as well! You can find her at craftsty.com and she has classes available at creativebug.com.\xa0

Marly had a respectable career in the financial services industry before her love of all things yarn took over her life and career. She was podcasting about it when everyone else was just blogging. She\u2019s always been way ahead of her time, and she\u2019s been able to create a knitting and crocheting empire that has been a resource to share her love of the craft in all forms of media. She\u2019s got a special offer for Power Purls listeners today, so don\u2019t miss out!
