About the author:
Joan of Dark is sometimes called Toni Carr, but not very often. Her passion for knitting started when she asked her grandmother to show her how, and she instantly regretted all the time in her life spent not knitting. Her first book, Knockdown Knits, was all about roller derby and knitting. Her second and third books, Knits for Nerds and Geek Knits, are both about nerdy/geeky knitting, so one could guess that Joan is a roller derby loving knitting nerd. This would be correct. She is also a rescuer of animals, and surrounds herself with not only a very loving and tolerant husband, but a miniature horse named Starkey, Pigwidgeon (Widget) the parrot, a very weird dog named Sassy Burrito, Willie (the craziest corgi mutt ever), and a cat named Rori.
When not knitting, skating, performing aerial silks, or running though muddy obstacle course races, you may find her working in her coffee shop (Strange Brew), playing the guitar or the bass, or occasionally having too many glasses of wine and entertaining her twitter followers with her tipsy ramblings. #joanofdrunk
You can read about more adventures on her blog, or follow her on Twitter.
