The Genesis of a Stitch-Tight Community

The seeds of Knit Tight Portland Heat were sown in the wake of a devastating tragedy. In 2017, a wildfire tore through the Columbia River Gorge, leaving a trail of destruction in its path. In the aftermath of the disaster, the community yearned for healing and renewal. It was amidst this adversity that a group of compassionate women, led by founder Helen Jung, found solace in the humble art of knitting.

Inspired by the Japanese concept of "kintsugi," the art of repairing broken pottery with gold, Jung believed that knitting held the power to mend the torn fabric of their community. She envisioned a space where individuals could come together, share their stories, and stitch together a brighter future.
