About the Author

Camilla Schmidt Rasmussen has been an artist and a maker since childhood—drawing, painting, sewing, and embroidering—but learning to crochet as an adult unlocked the door to a whole new world. Designing and creating with yarn was so fascinating that for a few years after Camilla learned to crochet, she gave her family and friends only gifts that she crocheted herself. She finds inspiration everywhere—in her neighborhood, in architecture, in unusual color combinations—and her curiosity often leads her in new directions, always with pride of craftsmanship as her guide. Camilla lives in Aarhus, Denmark, where she owns Yarnfreak, a yarn and gift shop.Sofie Grangaard learned to knit and crochet at age 4. She's passionate about yarn and dedicated to improving her skills and knowledge, which she loves to share with others. She lives in Knebel, Denmark.
