Who I am

I’m a writer, knitter, teacher, podcaster, mother, spinner, and gluten-free cook… not necessarily in that order…

In January 2014 I will begin blogging a book on Cognitive Anchoring detailing how knitting, crochet, and other automatic-hand-activities positively affect the brain.

What I do

I treat knitting, cooking, literature, and history with a light touch and serious enthusiasm here on my knitting blog, Mama O Knits Too Much, on CraftLit: a Podcast for Crafters Who Love Books, and in my books What Would Madame Defarge Knit?, What (else) Would Madame Defarge Knit?, and Grounded: The Seven, book 1.

 

Where I’m at

I teach knitting classes
Most popular:
• specialized sock-heel workshops
• plaited cast-on class for socks, hats, and coffee cup cozies
• certified Knit Companion trainer

I travel to book readings and signings.

You can schedule a class or event on my Shoppe page.
