Kristina McGrath and Sarah Walworth are yarn pattern technical editors, consultants, and coaches in the fiber industry. Between them, they have edited over 1000 knitting patterns. Since 2020, they have hosted Tech Tip Talk, a monthly broadcast about pattern writing and knitting design. They also wrote a must-have book for knitwear designers called The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook. Kristina and Sarah are committed to improving access to industry knowledge and helping designers create patterns that fit every size body well.
After publishing a few episodes of Tech Tip Talk on their YouTube Channel, Kristina and Sarah realized that if they were knitwear designers, they would want all the information they shared with their followers in a written format they could refer to repeatedly. So, they wrote The Knitting Pattern Writing Handbook.
