When Andrea Mowry was nine, her Grandma Ginny taught her to knit, sparking a passion that would become her life’s work. What began as a quiet pastime helped the shy, introverted child find her voice.
After leaving a career as a pastry chef to start a family, Andrea turned to fiber instead of flour. Over the past 11 years, she has redefined modern knitwear with playful, wearable designs full of color and texture. Through her patterns and workshops, she inspires knitters to create with joy, confidence, and heart.
At Knitting LIVE! NYC, you’ll have several special opportunities to hear from Andrea
