Right now it seems to be designing textured sweaters and fashionable hats. In the past I've been enamored of Eastern stranded patterns. I guess I mainly focus on the knitting that a machine does not want to do.

It changes. I like to teach what I'm most excited about at the moment, or what I think every knitter should know and I can tell them.

| Biography |
I was born one morning at the break of day . . . No, I just cant do it.
Born and reared in New York City; educated at Harvard; taught at MIT. Fled from the madding crowd's ignoble strife until I found myself in Big Stone Gap, VA. Got religion. Returned to my childhood love of knitting; became a hermit. Half-way back into the world now: feet on the mountain, hands grasping knitting needles, heart, I trust, with God.
