She's the editor/publisher of Knitty.com, a very fine free online knitting publication with a sense of humor and some really yummy swag.

She writes a column for Interweave Knits magazine, and they let her keep a blog on their website, where she tries to behave herself.

She has another blog over here, where she writes about Knitty stuff and shares a little of her obsessively covetous nature. Lately, it's all about silk yarn, with a side order of writerly obsessions and cute rabbit stories.

Wonder what she sounds like? Listen to her Knitcast interviews here and here...and one from Interweave about the new book here. She doesn't think she says "aboot", but others would disagree.
