Hunter Hammersen
United States
I was supposed to stay in school for a shockingly long time, get a respectable-sounding job, and quietly become a proper grownup. Instead I got distracted by colorful string, started writing knitting books, and fled to the rocky coast of Maine where I spend a frankly alarming amount of time in my back yard taking pictures of yarn. But don’t tell anyone…I’m still slightly worried someone will find out I escaped and try to drag me back to that other life.
My books include Shoreland Socks, Firmament, Silk Road Socks, Curls, Curls 2, Curls 3, Fine Things for Plain Occasions, and The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet Volumes I, II, and III. Oh and there are lots and lots (and lots) of individual patterns too!
