What Would Madame Defarge Knit?

Answering the question “How the heck do you do that?” is the focus of Syne’s life.  Most nights you’ll find her experimenting in her studio until the wee hours.  The deer in the forest outside have learned to ignore the green glow.

When she’s not crafting, Syne writes. Because knowing the answer is only half the fun, you have to share it with others.

An award-winning writer with a background in physics, Syne has published five science-fiction novels and has written for Spin-Off; Handwoven; The Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers; Complex Weavers; Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot, and Knitty.  Her column Weaving the Web is a regular feature in Handwoven.

She produces WeaveZine.com, a website packed with weaving how-to’s and tutorials.  There you’ll also find her blog and podcast.  She’s on Ravelry as Syne Mitchell and @weavezine on Twitter.
