About the Author

Mountain Mom is also known as Deborah Swift:  devoted knitter, designer, Christian, bagpipe fan, mother of 3, and wife to a math professor in Flagstaff, Arizona (although not necessarily in that order).

I learned to knit from a neighbor-friend in 1999, and have been a voracious yarn-practitioner ever since.  Crochet followed in 2002.  I have been designing my own projects from earliest days, but only began writing them down in 2007.  In 2006, I enrolled in TKGA’a Master Hand Knitter program, passing Level 1 in August of that year, Level 2 in May 2009, and am currently enrolled in Level 3.
