Miriam Leah Felton lives in Salt Lake City with her husband, a chocolate point siamese named Ekho and enough yarn to keep a whole village warm through a long Siberian winter.
She began knitting in high school because, although she crocheted very well, she wanted to expand her horizons. She had her sister cast on for her and then off she went. She learned most everything else from books, and was designing from the start.
She began blogging in October 2004, and in late 2005 began designing patterns to offer for sale. Since then she has had patterns published by KnitPicks, in Interweave Knits, by small yarn companies, and has self published many patterns both in print and electronic formats.
Miriam focuses mostly on lace patterns, but is a great lover of socks, especially ones with historical significance. She is particularly proud of the Eleanora Sock pattern. She also binds books and makes jam which can be purchased from her Etsy shop.
