Christine Ernest

Christine Ernest Short is the Communication Director of Hello Craft, a nonprofit trade association dedicated to empowering small business owners and educating the public to the benefits of buying handmade. Her love of handmade and her background in writing and music PR led her to join Hello Craft in 2010. In her free time she scours thrift stores for vintage Pyrex, teaches others to knit, thinks about pulling out her Brother knitting machine and crochets one too many granny squares. Christine lives in Northern Virginia, and her DIY hero is her mother who is handy with both a chainsaw and a sewing machine.
