Unlike Betty Crocker, Ann Budd is a real person. But her name is equally legendary to knitters, thanks to her classic Knitter’s Handy Book series, which make it easy for knitters to design garments to their own specifications. Ann is particularly known for her mastery of sock knitting and design, and teaches sold-out workshops across the country and abroad. Ann lives in Boulder, Colorado. You can find her at annbuddknits.com.
She is the author or editor of many books, including:
New Directions in Sock Knitting
The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns
The Knitter’s Handy Book of Sweater Patterns
Knitter’s Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters
The Knitter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements
The Crocheter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements
