Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
We are pleased to welcome back author and knitting rock star Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, the Yarn Harlot. Stephanie’s last DKC appearance, believe it or not, was back in 2005. What’s she been up to since then? Not much. Just maintaining her insanely popular blog (which averages about 17,000 visitors per day), jetting around the world making appearances and teaching workshops, raising over $1,100,000 via her charitable initiative Knitters Without Borders, designing patterns, founding the Knitting Olympics, and writing New York Times bestsellers.

Stephanie’s topic will be “This is your brain on knitting” which is all about what goes on in your brain while you’re knitting. What sorts of neurotransmitters are released, how knitting is training your brain to be better, and essentially how great knitting is for you. It all sounds fascinating, and we’re looking forward to spending the evening with Stephanie.
