Lisa Kartus

Author of Knit Fix: Problem Solving for Knitters (Interweave, 2006). Says Clara Parkes in Knitter’s Review about Lisa, now editor and designer at Aha Moment Knits: “She not only knows her knitting, but she expresses her knowledge with the skill and ease of a seasoned writer.”

Love working with color. Can also dream up way too many yarn possibilities for any given project, which is why I always have the feeling I can’t knit fast enough. I’ve taught knitting for over 10 years, paying close attention to what leads each student to that aha moment, when the knitter owns a new skill. The patterns I designed and edited while Pattern Design Director for Misti Alpaca each contain learning moments, as well.
