“You know, when I first heard about The Amazing Lace, I was all like, ‘Hey that sounds like a lot of fun and I’ll get to see the world.’ And then I met my teammates. They’re great – really great. I love them to death. . . Except that there are just so many of them. Know what I mean? And I can’t tell them apart. I guess I’ll have plenty of time to get to know them all better, huh?” [chuckling and rolling her eyes]

“The pattern? Oh yeah, I had to work that out for myself. My teammates were no help at all. They just sat around and let me do all the work. I’m all, ‘Hey, what do y’all think of this?’ but it’s like they don’t want to be involved. We just don’t have the kind of communication that I really think we need. I hope this doesn’t become a problem later on – everyone needs to pull their own weight. We’ve got to make 146 squares together or something insane like that. I just want to give it my best effort and have a good time, you know? I hope those cones of yarn don’t get in the way.”
