About the Author

Dr. Knit and the Knitting Laboratory were first launched as a series of art exhibitions in 2009. Since their creation, Dr. Knit, the Knitting Laboratory, and the creatures and their stories, have become a huge success with the public, appealing to children and adults alike. The knitted creatures are unique and original real-life knitted creations. People of all ages are equally entranced by the strange creatures, all of whom have a problem that Dr. Knit resolves for them in his Knitting Laboratory. Each problem, delivered with humour and compassion, tries to embody an aspect, or aspects of a child's experience, and indeed the childhood experience of the adult.
