About the Author

Tracy Zhang began knitting at age four when her mother introduced her to a skilled knitting teacher, Mrs. Kay Wunderlich. Since then Tracy has knitted primarily for self, family, and friends. In 2008, after retirement, she began selling her original patterns.

Always inspired by traditional Aran patterns and designs, Tracy acknowledges that nearly all her creations contain Aran design elements. It is an indulgence to which she gives free rein.

If you have any questions about Tracy's patterns, please contact her at tracyzhangdesigns@gmail.com. Comments, questions and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Happy Knitting!
