Dee began her obsession with color and fiber as a 6-year-old who spent countless hours making plaid, color-coordinated squares on a little loom. She then learned to knit and crochet from the nice retired lady across the street. Thirty afghans later, Dee swapped her needles for a guitar pick and became a professional guitarist and music teacher. Dee rediscovered her love of knitting in 2007; when she knitted her first lace shawl a year later, she was hopelessly smitten. Dee began publishing her own tutorial-style lace patterns in 2011 and now knits full time. Her life’s mission is to encourage every single lace knitter on earth to love lace charts. Dee’s designs have been knitted by thousands of lace enthusiasts worldwide.
