Stefanie Japel is the author of Fitted Knits: 25 Projects for the Fashionable Knitter and Glam Knits: 25 Designs for Luxe Yarns. Stefanie designs her sweaters to be knit in the round, a technique she's been using for many years.

Stefanie's designs first appeared at Knitty.com and have since been seen in knitting magazine from Interweave Knits to Vogue Knitting and in countless books. Read more about Stefanie and her work at her website, Glampyre Knits.
