Shana Cohen
Ravelry Name: shanalines Ravelry Designer Page and Designer Website
I am an architect with experience teaching technical and design studio courses in several higher education venues. I bring my experience of geometry and writing design syllabi to my pattern writing. My patterns are mostly modular designs, and mostly garter stitch! In pattern writing, I strive to make legible directions that allow the knitter to customize their own work in the process. I try to pay attention to maximizing yardage and adaptability of styling in my work. Throughout all of my endeavors, I love connecting with individuals, helping them to become the best version of themselves. I aim to write my patterns in a way to foster this creative expression in you, the knitter. I hope you have fun playing with color and style when working my patterns
Mary Hull Ravelry Name: Kino Ravelry Designer Page and Designer Website Mary Hull is the designer and podcaster behind Kino Knits. Think interesting stitches, unique constructions, off-the-beaten path destinations... I take my role as your knitting guide very seriously. All patterns are meticulously drafted, tech edited, and test knit so you can be sure your path is clear.
I believe you should be able to get good value out of your yarn, which is why I have so many patterns designed for flexible yardage. I also believe that collaboration is better than competition, which is why I started the Point/Counterpoint series, with Volume 6 now in the works! In short, my mission is to help process knitters create beautiful products. Let’s go!
Pat Hensley
Ravelry Name: loonyhiker Ravelry Designer Page I started crocheting, knitting and spinning in 2007. I feel designing something is a lot like solving a puzzle and I love puzzles. I've been designing since 2017 and really enjoyed designing socks and shawls. Lately I've started bringing color work into my designs. I hope that people who use my patterns find them easy to follow and enjoy the finished product. I hope my designs bring people joy.
Shaina Scott Ravelry Name: YumiYarns Designer Website I’ve always been a lover of beautiful yarn, even before I knew what to do with it. Since I started knitting and crocheting in 2007 my stash has grown tremendously and all that yarny goodness is what sparks the creativity in my designs which are published in the YumiYarns pattern line, through Knitpicks, Love Crafts and in Knitter’s Magazine. I believe that crafters can bring tons of positivity to the world, so 10% of all Yumi Yarns pattern sales are donated to various organizations (chosen monthly) to support social change.
Yumi Yarns knitting patterns are designs geared towards process knitters who also want beautiful and fun finished objects. Most patterns are paired with video tutorials and learning resources via YumiYarns.com to help you painlessly grow your crafting skills and encourage you to keep trying new techniques. Let’s cast-on something happy!

Janis Ficker
Ravelry Name: JanisFicker Ravelry Designer Page After spending Undergrad and Grad School at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Janis found her job wasn’t as creative as she thought it would be. After a few failed attempts to find a creative outlet, knitting became her drug of choice. In 2008 she left her “real job” and started working with a network marketing company. This allowed her a lot of free time which she naturally filled with knitting, then a podcast - the Carolina Fiber Girls, a bit of designing and most recently co-owning Queen City Yarns with her friend Christen. Janis lives in Charlotte, with her husband Brian and their two black cats. You can find her in all of the places as JanisFicker and www.queencityyarn.com
Lisa K Ross Ravelry Name: paperdaisy1 Ravelry Designer Page and Designer Website My name is Lisa Ross and I’m a mother of four boys living in Bloomington, Indiana. I love to play with color, texture, and design elements to create something original that is as much fun to knit as it is to wear. Every pattern is thoughtfully constructed with the knitter in mind, with photo tutorials for challenging techniques, easy-to-follow formatting, and clear descriptions. I particularly love designing socks and shawls, and I've never met a mini-skein I didn't covet!
Sarah Schira
Ravelry Name: ImaginedLandscape Ravelry Designer Page and Designer Website I love gnomes. A lot. To my delight, lots of other knitters have joined me in #nevernotgnoming. When I’m not knitting gnomes, I’m working on knitting patterns for everyday adventures. I'm inspired by the landscapes I travel through - whether I'm travelling or just daydreaming.
Kristen Drucker Ravelry Name: kdrucker Ravelry Designer Page I learned to knit and crochet when I was young, from my grandmother. I picked both back up while in graduate school, earning a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Mayo Clinic. I am currently doing research on IDH-mutant low-grade glioma at Mayo in Rochester MN, spending time with my husband and two kids, growing veggies in our backyard in the summer, and keeping my hands busy knitting and designing knitwear.

Josh Ryks-Robinsky Ravelry Name: rebelpupknits Ravelry Designer Page Josh Ryks-Robinsky is the designer behind Rebel Pup Knits designs. He is a color-obsessed knitter and designer from Minnesota. As a self-taught knitter, Josh has been altering patterns and challenging himself to learn since the moment a pair of sticks and string were put in his hands.
After learning the basic knit, purl, increases, and decreases, Josh decided to jump right on and explore all the knitting world had to offer! He loves short rows, color, lines, squishy garter stitch, and graphic PUNCH - and he’ll always have at least one shawl in his project bag! Geometric lines and graphic color combos are two of his favorite things!
He lives with his amazing husband in Minneapolis and their two adorably cute su-purr-visors.
Heather Laws Ravelry Name: bunnifish Ravelry Designer Page and Designer Website Heather has been a maker of things since she figured out how her hands worked. Her grandma taught her how to crochet when she was five to help combat the persistent fidgeting that came with ADHD. Heather has taught herself to knit a decade ago and has been enjoying manipulating stitches ever since. Her main inspiration for design is, "What if...?"
