About Me

I'm the author of Knitgrrl, Knitgrrl 2, Spin To Knit, Crochet Style, Felt Frenzy (co-authored with Heather Brack), AlterNation (co-authored with Alexandra Underhill), The Pillow Book, How to Knit in the Woods and Alt Fiber. I also edited Just Socks and Just Gifts. You can read more about the books and keep up with my knitblog at knitgrrl.com . I also maintain a "lens" about handspinning here at Squidoo, and both Spin to Knit and Felt Frenzy have their own book websites here and here . My book AlterNation has its own sewing-centered website, alternationbook.com , and I just opened a store called Stitch Cleveland with two of my friends in 2006.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Knitters, crocheters, spinners, sewers and fibery people of all kinds (plus those who'd like to learn)! Speaking of, if you're in NE Ohio or nearby, you can take lessons from me at my shop Stitch Cleveland !

Want me to come to your town? Make a request on Eventful by clicking above or have your LYS email me -- but check my events page first, I may already be on the way!


I taught on this cruise -- sorry if you missed it!
