Lisa K. Ross (aka Paper Daisy Creations) is a knitwear designer and mother of four boys living in Bloomington, Indiana. She believes that pairing the right yarn with the perfect technique can unlock something magical, and has made it her mission to find these combinations and share them with the world. Her process keeps the experience of the knitter in mind to ensure that the work that goes into a creation produces incredible results. She has a deep love of color (making mini-skeins her favorite!) and an obsession with knitting socks that can finally be explored in book form. When she is not knitting, Lisa can be found enjoying time with her family and listening to audiobooks while multitasking around the house.
