Crafty Diversions came
out of Anne's need to unleash her creativity. She has always been
very creative and crafty from a young age, and is mostly
self-taught in all her crafty endeavors. She has been
knitting and making up her own patterns ever since she
taught herself to knit a few years ago in order to pass time
during her long train commute to work.
Anne's designs
have been seen in several knitting books and magazines,
including Interweave Knits, and Knitty. she
has also partnered with SWTC and Frog Tree in designing
garments highlighting their yarns. Aside from knitwear design,
Anne also
dabbles in hand-painting yarn and fabrics, spinning, and jewelry metalsmithing/fabrication.
