Author Information

Rosemary (Romi) Hill always loved being crafty, but never imagined she could be lucky enough to do it for a living! Although she had knit on and off throughout most of my life, it was learning to knit lace in 2005 that kindled her true passion for fiber and needles! Romi’s work has appeared in numerous publications, among them Knitty, Knitscene, Interweave Knits, Twist Collective, and in several books. A library of her designs can be seen at ravelry. com/designers/rosemary-romi-hill. She is also the author of Elements of Style: Knit & Crochet Jewelry with Wire, Fiber, Felt & Beads (Interweave 2008)
