Kyla and Agnes met through mutual friends in high school. They ended up seeing each other frequently at social gatherings, which is impressive since one went to public school and the other was homeschooled. Over the years the two grew closer; as they finished school, then being in each other’s weddings, and eventually meeting each other’s babies within a week of their birth.
So when Agnes texted Kyla one day in the Summer 2021 essentially asking;
“Am I crazy to want to start a nerdy crochet business with you?”
Kyla said, “Yes” both to Agnes’ craziness and to co-starting what is now Knot Like Other Nerds.
Now they work together finding each other’s strengths (and weaknesses) and supporting each other. Agnes’ Minor in Marketing helps her tackle some of the business planning and marketing tasks. Kyla’s tact and precision helps when editing marketing materials and design plans. Her speed at headbands and sewing has also been especially helpful Winter/Spring 2021-22 as Agnes has been much slower than normal due to her pregnancy.
Knot Like Other Nerds has thrived on custom orders and the creativity from their customers. The goal for 2022 (besides Agnes’ postpartum recovery) is to continue to provide custom work and other nerdy headbands and amigurumi. In the Summer/Fall, Agnes and Kyla hope to release patterns of their popular amigurumi. DM, Email, or follow them on social media to stay updated with Agnes and Kyla at Knot Like Other Nerds!
