Author Biography

The Harmony Guides have been longstanding references for more than thirty years, with over half a million worldwide sales. All titles are fully revised and updated with eye-catching photography and innovative new stitches, but also never forgetting the heritage of the guides, these really will be the only reference titles on any crocheter's bookshelves. Kate Haxell was taught to knit by her grandmother, but only discovered she was holding the needles wrongly twenty years later while editing for Debbie Bliss. Since then she has worked with several knitters and learned many new skills.
