Kate is an internationally known knitting author, teacher, and editor. She has written ten books about various aspects of knitting, including a series of four about customizing projects for perfect fit and style. Her latest book, Math for Knitters, aims to help knitters of all levels take control of their projects. It tackles yarn substitution, demystifies gauge, and shows easy ways to handle common number puzzles in pattern reading like “decrease evenly across”; it also offers a practical and very approachable guide to customizing and altering patterns. The combination of her university degree in mathematics, professional experience in software development and usability, and training in garment and fashion design give her a unique perspective. She lives in Toronto with her husband and their rescue dog Winnie.
