Clara Parkes is the author of five books including the
New York Times bestselling
Knitlandia, Clara has dedicated her life to figuring out what makes yarn tick—and finding the right words to write about it. She turned passion into profession in 2000 when she launched
Knitter’s Review, the first comprehensive online knitting magazine and community. Her new book,
A Stash of One's Own will be featured at the festival!
Since then, through her writings, workshops,
books, television and radio appearances,
custom-sourced yarns, and yarn consulting services, Parkes has championed the notion of paying closer attention to what you knit and where it came from.
