For Kim Haesemeyer, knitting is like breathing--natural and easy. "My goal with each design is to create clear patterns that are easy to read and understand, because knitting time is too precious to be spent agonizing over directions," she says. Kim has designed for yarn manufacturers, and several of her patterns have appeared in popular knitting magazines.
