Hello!I am a professional needlework designer and teacher who is always amazed at the incredible things that can be made out of thread. I have written ten needle craft books and contributed to twenty two knitting books and my work has been featured on a number of yarn and embroidery thread company websites. My knitting, crocheting, button, and embroidery designs and articles have been frequently published in magazines including Vogue Knitting, Vogue Knitting Crochet, Knit Simple, Noro Knitting Magazine, Piecework, and Australia's Inspirations embroidery magazine . I am excited to have another Dorset button book that will be published by the end of 2021, and am working on a Swedish embroidery book that is scheduled for 2022. I live in New Jersey, and have two boys who grew up hearing-- "Just a minute, I need to finish this row!". You can find me at YarnWhirled.com and as Northeastknitter on Ravelry.
