As a passionate knitter with a background in education, she writes patterns to uplift, teach, and motivate knitters as they make their hand-knit pieces.

Designing with the Everyday Knitter in mind, Knit Sisu patterns are accessible and classic, with a touch of modern flare, providing knitters with joy and pride in their finished piece. When she's not knitting, Jill is hiking, practicing yoga, cooking, reading, or spending time with her husband, Rob, and old-dog, Sig (who acts like an eternal puppy).
