Lisa Ellis Designs Patterns
Lisa was taught knitting by her mother at a young age. In college, she spent a year in Spain and France. There, her Spanish mother re-taught her to knit but without a pattern. She simply would drape the sweater over Lisa's body like a mannequin to decide where decreases should go. Then in France, Lisa noticed a young Norwegian sitting in back of class knitting daily. This Norwegian never used a pattern and rarely looked down at her work. This is where the idea of knitting without a pattern became embedded. After taking designing classes and upgrading her yarn stash, Lisa became a designer. 4 years later, she became a knitting instructor at the Yarn Garden of Gig Harbor and began self-publishing her designs. Lisa is now on her third publication with Leisure Arts. When Lisa isn't drinking tea and knitting, she's either gardening, cooking or teaching these skills to her 2 daughters.
