A Bit about Franklin Habit

Franklin Habit writes prolifically about the needle arts both online and in print.

He has authored two very silly and very popular books, It Itches: A Stash of Knitting Cartoons (Interweave Press) and I Dream of Yarn: A Knit and Crochet Coloring Book. His current projects include regular pieces for Modern Daily Knitting and PieceWork Magazine, and The Dolores Collection (based on his popular character, Dolores the Sheep) with WEBS.

As one of the most sought-after fiber arts instructors on the international circuit, he has taught tens of thousands of knitters in the USA and abroad at events both large and small.

In 2020, he established both a popular Patreon campaign and his namesake YouTube channel.

Franklin lives in Paris, France where most of the knitters prefer the ridiculously complicated word maille to the very sensible English noun stitch. But the food is good.
