Amy Snell is a knitwear designer and educator who teaches across the US and online. She’s known for her clever designs, deep technical understanding, and teaching style that empowers knitters to be curious, confident, and capable. Her brand, The Devious Knitter, refers to the kind of delightful trickery that knitting often involves—where a simple technique can yield a surprisingly complex or elegant result. Amy encourages knitters to be analytical and fearless: to ask why something works, how to fix it, or how to change it. She’s beloved for her clarity, patience, and ability to make advanced techniques approachable. 

Amy's work has appeared in numerous books and periodicals including Cast On, Interweave Knits, and numerous pattern collections. She shares tips and tricks on her website, DeviousKnitter.com, and can be found as @DeviousKnitter on social media.
