Jennifer Wunderlich is a scientist and teacher by day, and a compulsive knitter by night. She grew up in Southern Maryland surrounded by tobacco fields, left all that behind to pursue a marine biology degree at Eckerd College, and has been bopping around the country every since. She has taught various forms of science and math in various types of educational settings, and has lived in fabulous places like Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and near the Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia. She currently lives in St Petersburg, where she met and married her husband Ray. He owns a vitamin store and graciously gave her a really long German last name that means “odd or strange in a brilliant, magical sort of way.” They spend their time traveling around the state visiting parks and preserves, and keeping lists of all the Florida native plants they encounter. Nerd + Nerd = True Love. When she is not studying municipal solid waste and landfills, her current research topic of choice for her masters degree in Environmental Science and Policy at USF St Pete, she is buried under mountains of yarn in her living room. She worms her way out occasionally, knitting needles in hand, only to dive into another mountain of luxurious fibers and see what sort of inspiration hits her this time. Jennifer prefers to seek out original and unique wool yarns that are handspun and handdyed by other artisans, that way no two of her creations are ever the same. She also buys yarns that are rescued or reclaimed from old sweaters, and knits up new things to give the yarn a new life.
