I've sort of made my mark with the Viking knits, but any kind of knitting that gives a striking result from very little effort is my kind of knitting. The process is as important as the result, so I want the knitting to be effortless and restful, but I also need challenges and often find myself thinking "what if I tried that instead"? I'm intrigued by the technical aspects of knitting. I am also a master of shortcuts and "cheating" intelligently (as if there is such a thing as cheating in knitting). I hate writing, but do it anyway to share my knowledge and passion. I love teaching and do it whenever I get a chance.

While I still love doing all these things, my dedication is turning more to the craft itself. How can we get more people knitting? How can we bring knitters back into the fold? How can we garner knitting the respect it deserves as a creative activity--linking us to hundreds of years of working hands and knitting traditions? Writing my book (XRX's Sally Melville STYLES / A Unique and Elegant Approach to Your Yarn Collection) was an attempt to help knitters work through their yarn collections and bring excitement back into their knitting lives.

I work very hard to prepare for my classes and am as excited to teach as I hope my clients are to learn. Each group has different dynamics that keeps each workshop fresh. I especially love teaching knitting and spinning to children. I will teach any child under 18, and supply the materials, free of charge and will go anytime into the schools, fairs, etc to demonstrate. My passsion is to pass on the love of fiber to everyone!

Being a cancer survivor, I know that nothing is as important as my health and life. If something goes wrong with my knitting now, I view it as an opportunity to learn something new and a chance to do more knitting by doing it again!! The finished product is important, but the process is what we all love. My specialty for my first book was mostly Fair Isle sweaters, as I was using and writing about Harrisville yarn. They are famous for their wonderful colors. My specialty for my second book was sweaters using hand-dyed yarns, as I interviewed 8 New England sheep farmers who hand dyed the wool they produced. I am presently working for a yarn company that specializes in hand dyed yarns using only natural dyes and no heavy mordants.My third book, Beyond Wool, is about all the fibers that we love to knit with...cashmere, alpaca, angora, silk, etc. I wrote about each fiber and then did designs showcasing each fiber. I am now infatuated with Austrian knitting, and hope to start my third book on this subject. I am also very interested in Shetland traditions, and I have a quilting book coming out in June, The Quilter's Quick Reference Guide.
