When I was little, my Granny Kate showed me how to knit, but it didn't stick. Then I grew up, got my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of British Columbia, married a guy who had lots of creative outlets of his own, moved into a tiny Vancouver apartment and decided I needed to pick up knitting again since it was something I could happily do in a small space. I borrowed a "how to knit" book from the library and found out my fingers remembered what Granny had taught me. Then I got Stitch & Bitch and discovered how cool knitting can be. I did an interview for Episode Five of the Christa Knits podcast . You can listen to it if you want to hear more of my thoughts about my knitting and pattern design. |

My sister Wendy is an amazingly talented photographer. She took almost all of the photos you see on these pages, in between shooting Society Weddings and Celebrity Headshots and creating Installations of Really Big Prints in posh hotels. You can see more of her work here. |

I have the best husband ever. In between doing his complicated job at UBC, playing goal for our soccer team and preparing gourmet, multi-ethnic meals for us to enjoy, Paul did all the hard work to make this web site, and showed me how to do the easy stuff. |
