I learned to knit when I was eight, and although my first small project took several years to complete, I have become a true addict in more recent years. My patterns have appeared in Knitty Magazine, Yarn Forward, the Classic Elite Yarns web-letter, and the books More Knitting in the Sun and Simple, Hip, Knit Scarves, among others. They are also a part of the Knit Picks Independent Designer Program. Many of my patterns are for sale here on the Woolly Mammoth Knits website. To access the pattern pages, please following one of the following links: clothing patterns, accessories patterns and baby & kids patterns. A selection of free patterns can be found on the site as well: free patterns.

If you’re a member of Ravelry, please consider taking a look at my Ravelry designer page or check out the Woolly Mammoth Knits Ravelry Group for pattern support and to connect with other knitters working on my patterns. My Rav username is linw.

My blog can be read on this website as well. I use it to document my adventures knitting around the world, announce the publication of new patterns, and ramble about other assorted topics. I hope you’ll enjoy my patterns, and happy knitting!
