I’m not on Ravelry much these days. The need for a day job, kids, the pandemic, and wrist pain have gotten in my way.
I’m still working on the next book in the Grounded: The Seven* series, recording for CraftLit: A Podcast for Crafters Who Love Books and cycling over to another pain-free craft.

Pre-2018 I designed and edited for the
What Would Madame Defarge Knit? book. Volume 2,What (else) Would Madame Defarge Knit?* came out in 2012 and Defarge Does Shakespeare came out in March 2015.

I now live and write in Eastern Pennsylvania with my loving husband, an adopted Shih Tzu, one—or both—adult kids, Thing 1’s cat, and far too many devoted mosquitoes.

I’m MamaOKnits on Ravelry and MamaO Twitter.
