If knitting were an Olympic sport, Christina Fagan Pardy would be a contender for gold.

Pardy is the founder and CKO (chief knitting officer) of the Boston-based knitwear company she built out of a college knitting blog called, "S--- that I Knit," or STIK, for short. She expanded the brand from a dorm-room hobby to being officially licensed for a line of products in partnership with Team USA for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

We talk with Pardy about her business and local roots.
