About Me

I'm the author of Sock Architecture, a book to inspire the most awesome socks you ever knit. Design your own or enjoy the 17 patterns in the book. Choose your favorite toe, heel and direction of knitting (toe up or top down) and really have fun with your socks!


I am also the co-author of Crafting the Resistance, which came out in 2017.
