Edie Eckman

Edie Eckman creates confident knitters and crocheters! She helps crafters learn the techniques they need not only to follow patterns, but also to problem-solve and think for themselves, because self-confident crafters are happy crafters.

In almost 30 years as a professional designer, teacher, and technical editor (and even as a yarn shop owner), Edie has honed her skills to help knitters and crocheters learn exactly what they need to succeed at any skill level. She is the author of several best-selling books, including Around the Corner Crochet Borders, The Crochet Answer Book, and Learn to Knit Socks.

Edie is a popular and experienced teacher who has fully embraced virtual instruction. In her classes, you'll be encouraged to ask questions, laugh (often at the teacher), think, reflect, and learn skills you can use in any project. Through her technical editing and professional instruction, she also helps designers write patterns that are clear, correct, concise, and consistent.
