Sue Johnson has been designing hand-knits since her children were young in the 70’s. A love of color motivated Sue to design hand-knits incorporating hand-dyed and hand-spun yarns. Sue has presented creative knitting workshops at the Embroiderers’ Guild and Brighton Recreation Centre in Melbourne.
Sue has also developed and given presentations on the Art of Knitting. Sue originally studied and taught mathematics, then changed career to work as a registered nurse. Sue’s recent work has been in research at Monash University.
Sue hopes this book will inspire others to explore the possibilities of creating unique knitted items and enjoy the same pleasure she has experienced creating original hand-knits.
