Person
TINA BARRETT has knitted ever since her grandmother handed over a bundle of needles and yarn. Back then she never finished a single thing and every project had holes. However, since deciding to get her act together, she has become addicted to all yarny crafts and has gone on to design collections for Artesano and Blacker yarns. She is a regular contributor to many knitting and sewing magazines and the author of six books including: Learn to Knit, Natural Knits for Babies and Toddlers, and Natural Crochet for Babies and Toddlers.
