Taught by Susan B. Anderson

• Author of Itty-Bitty Toys and Spud & Chloe at the Farm
• Curator of Spud & Chloe blog

By her own admission, Susan B. Anderson has tried “practically every craft under the sun.” At 19, she taught herself to knit from a pamphlet picked up at a fabric store in her hometown of Madison, Wis., where she still lives. She began designing knits when her four children were small, eventually trading her career as a public school teacher for the pursuit of knitting nirvana. She is the author of four knitting books with a fifth on the way, all published by Artisan Books.
