About the Author

Kristina McGrath worked in the fiber arts industry as a knitting technical editor and consultant, championing designer voice, the power of consistent pattern style, and fat-positive and size-inclusive design. 

She co-authored The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook with Sarah Walworth; together they created Tech Tip Talk, a platform for knitting designers with videos and resources to elevate the art of pattern writing and garment fit.

She is committed to clear and honest patterns that deliver on their promise to the knitter, which is the central focus of her work.

Sarah Walworth is an expert knitting technical editor, pattern grader, and ghostwriter. She runs The Tech Editor Hub, a collaborative educational community for yarn pattern editors, and co-authored The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook with Kristina McGrath.

Sarah is completely enamored by the endless creative potential in fiber and textiles, and she firmly believes every pattern should fit every size body and fit them well.

When not knitting, you'll find her wandering outside or on the couch with a dog, working through a large stack of books and several cups of coffee. She almost always writes in the margins.
