About Us



We are an independent press and work from our home-based studios at the foot of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  

Joanna's work has been published in Knitty, Piecework, Jane Austen Knits, Spin-Off, Sockupied, and Knitting Traditions magazines, as well as Petite Purls and Rhythm of the Home. She has a BA in Literature from Drew University and has greatly enjoyed writing the stories and designing the knitting and sewing patterns for their children's books.

Eric has a BFA in commercial design from Kutztown University. After working for three decades as a signwriter, muralist, and graphic artist, he has really enjoyed returning to his childhood love of drawing by illustrating Phoebe's Sweater, Freddie's Blanket, Phoebe's Birthday, and Henry's Hat.

Eric and Joanna live in Colorado with their three children, who offer continual inspiration for their stories. Their work has been reviewed in Yarn Market News, Living Crafts, Knitty, Stitch, Piecework, Interweave Knits, Knit 'N Style, Knitting Today, Model Life, and Knitcircus magazines.
