Albright, Jennifer
Intarsia work, mostly on adult sweaters. I do, however, probably knit a sock every week (two pairs a month or more) because I knit them on the treadmill or whenever I have to wait places (appointments, restaurants, in line at the post office....) |

I enjoy combining fibers, textures, gauges, colors, and finding ways to create fun, wearable knits. I especially enjoy teaching when the "light bulb" goes off and knitters learn to discover and trust their own creativity. It's so exciting. |

I've been exploring the creative (and engineering) possibilities of entrelac since the 1980's. What a challenge and rewarding mission! I enjoy sharing my discoveries through my classes and my published designs, hoping to show the rest of the knitting world how much fun entrelac can be. I'm currently working on a book about entrelac for XRX, in fact. |

 Kagan, Sasha
Patterns from Nature developed into symmetry over the whole garment where the space between the flowers or leaves is the meaning of the design. As the Sufis say “the essence is the silence between the words.” |

Kerr, Barbara
My specialty is Patchwork Knitting; I design, write patterns and teach the techniques. Patchwork knitting isn’t new, new in the sense of never having been done before, it is new in what and how we do it. The techniques are easy to learn. As most of us have found, we love to do just one more…. With Patchwork knitting, it’s one more section, one more in that color.
For the knitter who is hesitant to design or experiment, Patchwork knitting allows an easy entrée into creativity, one piece at a time. For the knitter ready to experiment, a new door is open. My wish, is for us to have fun while discovering the unlimited possibilities.

 Lantz, Ruth
Primarily I work with color, whether it is knitting by hand, machine or crocheting and adding trims to garments and accessories. I truly enjoy mixing all the processes up, but with an eye to color. |

Lavold, Elsebeth
Hand knitting! 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. |

 Melville, Sally
I used to think of myself as a designer and teacher whose specialty was colour and texture. 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. But there is MUCH more work to be done! |

Aside from being a full time mother to three children, I love to play with yarn. I am easily led and will just about anything a georgeous skein tells me too. I adore bright colors and many of them and knitting technique fascinates me. As a result I now knit what ever I love, write knitting patterns and teach workshops. I am very fortunate. |

Lace Knitting. Ten years ago i began researching the history of lace knitting, particularly in Victorian Britain from 1836 when the first PRINTED patterns appeared.By 1847 the new knitting books had reached the U.S.A.so there is a close historical tie between the two countries.

 Strick, Candace Eisner
Knitting is a huge part of my life, but I try to put it in the proper perspective. 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. |
