The legal field is all about the details. So it may not be too surprising that Tonkon Torp partner Parna Mehrbani loves to lose herself in the intricate stitches found in hand knitting. Parna is self-taught, having taken up crochet and knitting at the age of seven. She holds two teaching certificates from the Craft Yarn Council of America, and has been an instructor since 2007. She currently teaches classes at Portland’s Twisted Yarn Shop. Parna’s favorite part of teaching is encouraging and inspiring confidence in knitters, letting them know that yes, they are doing it right, and no, it doesn't have to be perfect.
