About Margaret

Margaret Nock began her knitting adventures when she was eight. She's a knitter, blogger and author of Knit 1 for the Road, a portable knitting book for busy knitters. She has a MS from Savannah College of Art and Design and has written articles for Mix Tape Zine (craft magazine). Margaret enjoys blogging about knitting events, products, and interviewing indie crafters, writers, knitting charities and businesses.

Margaret says that color and texture really inspire her and she tries to use eco-friendly materials as much as possible.
