The author of Knitting Nature, among other books, Norah Gaughan has spent her life immersed in knitting—as a freelancer for yarn companies and knitting magazines while also designing pattern stitches for 7th Avenue; as the design director at JCA (she oversaw the Reynolds, Artful Yarns & Adrienne Vittadini Yarn lines); and as the design director at Berroco for nearly nine years (where she headed up the design team and published sixteen eponymous booklets). Now an independent designer working out of her studio in historic Harrisville, NH, Norah’s latest ventures include being a member of the Brooklyn Tweed design team and the publication of Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Sourcebook (Abrams), the result of her career spent of inventing new cable patterns. Vogue Knitting: Norah Gaughan: 40 Timeless Knits is a collection chosen from Norah's 30 years of collaboration with Vogue Knitting.
