About the Author

Ruth Cross started her hand knit company Ruth Cross in 2004, following her degree in Fashion Textiles Design with Business Studies at the University of Brighton. Initially designing collections of garments and accessories that sold internationally, the company started to win awards and get noticed by the press. Soon Ruth Cross became involved in projects and collaborations with other leading companies and organisations including Woolmark, Harvey Nichols and Anthropologie, and an interiors collection shortly followed. Now established as the go-to people for innovative knitted design, the Ruth Cross remit has never been wider, but the goal has always remained the same – to develop knit as a fresh and exciting contemporary craft.
