Mary is formally trained in fashion design with a degree from Mount Mary College. She has the knowledge and creativity to create her own patterns. To see some of Mary's work you just need to look around the shop. She arranges the displays and creates all the holiday decorations, out of yarn of course. Mary has four daughters and loves to play tennis in her free time.

Dora

Dora has been an avid knitter for over half of her life, she enjoys designing her own patterns and always likes to have a pair of socks to knit on nearby.  Working at the Knitting Knook allows her to assist people in finding the perfect yarn for their project which is one of her favorite parts of the job. When not knitting she can be found playing hurdy gurdy or drinking copious amounts of coffee.
