Knitting and crochet have been a lifelong passion for Val Pierce, her father having taught her to knit at the tender age of 5. Having worked for many major yarn companies and various well-known designers, she decided it was time to branch out and begin making her own designs. Author of Loveā€¦ Knitting, Val's work is published regularly in knitting magazines. She also teaches knitting and crochet to both adults and children.
