Phoenix Bess is an established knitting designer, and she's only 16-years old!   The Central Youth Wing carries her new book of flirtacious patterns, It Girl Knits under the call number YA 746.432 B (click here for the catalog record).  As we like to say in the library, check it out!  Phoenix also maintains a blog.  Here's the link.

The Teen Knitter and Crocheter Magazine Blog is written for teens and by teens.  You'll find tips, tutorials, observations, knitting-inspired fiction, and the occasional pattern.  TKCM debuted last June, and they have published four issues.  The last one came out back in December.  I hope they'll post another one soon.
