This CEO Spent Her Honeymoon Knitting A Sweater And Loved It

Nora Abousteit, founder and CEO of Kollabora and the Kollaborator Network, told HuffPost Live at Davos her company helps people "start making."

Abousteit said she knitted the sweater she wore on HuffPost Live while she was on her honeymoon, calling the experience "very meditative."

Abousteit said she grew up crafting, knitting with her mother and welding with her father. She said she saw growth in people wanting to know the origins of their products and wanting the experience of production, which is what inspired her company.

"I realized there was a lot of potential, because a lot of young people were starting to make things," she said.

Abousteit said making clothes isn't about saving money.

"It's not about the saving," she said. "It's about doing something that makes you happy."
