About the Designer
Linette Grayum
Linette learned the basics of knit and crochet when she was young. Over the years she dabbled a little in fiber crafts, but a decade ago her sister got her hooked, which led her to start exploring the amazing world of knitting and crocheting in depth. When life seemed to unravel, she picked up her needles to create something new and uniquely hers, which in turn got her started in writing and publishing her own patterns. Her designs incorporate fun and interesting construction or design techniques, yet break it up with soothing, rhythmic stitches. She has a passion for knitting and wearing shawls, but also a love for hats and fingerless mitts. She finds her inspiration mostly through explorations in the mountains and her new home, the Sonoran Desert.
