A Knitting Superstar

There’s a knitting maven in our midst.

Readers might not be surprised to learn that we’ve got our fair share of cooks, gardeners, animal lovers, and crafters around the Workman offices. But recently, an inter-office spy tipped us off to a superstar knitter so driven to purl and cable she refers to patterns as “porn for knitters.” She comes from a knitting family (her grandmother owned a yarn shop and her sisters are similarly inclined/obsessed); has around four projects going at any one time; tries to knit for at least a half-hour a day; prefers to watch movies at home because movie theater darkness cramps her knitting style; gives most of her projects away but keeps socks for herself; and owns around 50 pattern books that she uses mainly for inspiration (or, errr, titillation). In the rare event that she finds herself with a question, she always comes back to Stitch ‘N Bitch for, she says, the clarity of the instructions and illustrations. We give you… General Manager Jill Dülber!
