COURTNEY SPAINHOWER began in

fine art as a ceramicist. However, as a

stay-at-home mother, she discovered

knitting—the perfect blend of child

friendly and portable while fulfilling her

need to keep her fidgeting hands busy.

Courtney has been designing since

2009 and contributed work to many

books and magazines. She released

her first book, Family-Friendly Knits

(Interweave), in 2015 and is currently in

the thick of her second.
