Brooke Nico lives in Kirkwood Missouri, a suburb outside of St. Louis, and it’s there that she founded Kirkwood Knittery which she runs with business partner Robyn Schrager. A seamstress all her life, Brooke learned to sew her own clothes early to fit her tall, thin frame. In 2000 she taught herself to knit and fell in love with the concept of making her own fabric while creating a garment. Brooke is the author of Lovely Knitted Lace: A Geometric Approach to Gorgeous Wearables, and More Lovely Knitted Lace. Brooke travels and teaches at knitting events around the country, and her designs have been published in Sock Yarn Studio (Lark crafts 2014), One + One Scarves, Shawls & Shrugs (Lark Crafts 2012), One + One Hats (Lark Crafts 2012), and Lace Yarn Studio (Lark Crafts 2015). She’s also been published in Vogue Knitting, Creative Knitting and Knitters magazines.
