Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee is a writer, mother, blogger, knitting humorist and philosopher, and the author of six funny books about knitting, one of which spent a glorious week at the very bottom of the New York Times Bestseller’s list. She lives in Toronto, Canada with assorted teenaged daughters and a long suffering husband, all of whom have her outsmarted. Stephanie avoids housework, loves to teach knitting, and works very hard at both. She keeps the blog Yarnharlot.ca in her inestimable spare time.
