Romi Hill

Romi Hill lives on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern Nevada, where the high desert nights are cool and the air is clear and crisp. A lifelong crafter and knitter, she's inspired by the surroundings in her corner of the world, and her designs have an organic flow. Romi specializes in lace of all weights, and you can see her full pattern collection on Ravelry. Romi's lace book from Interweave Press, "New Lace Knitting" was published in 2015 and features timeless patterns for garments and accessories. She loves dark chocolate with chili peppers and she's a sucker for a great pair of cowboy boots.
