Deborah Newton, a Providence, Rhode Island-based knitwear designer, has worked in the knitwear design world for over 25 years. Her numerous designs have been sold to major yarn companies, popular magazines and, of course, are published in full on her Ravelry Designer page.

Deborah is also the author of books including Designing Knitwear, and Finishing School: A Master Class for Knitters. Her most recent book is Good Measure: Knit a Perfect Fit Every Time.

Deborah will be teaching two classes at Yarnover 2017: "Scandinavian Design" and "Transforming Cables."

The first class draws on her Scandinavian heritage and will cover both design and technical tips of Scandinavian patterns. In Transforming Cables, students will learn to transform traditional cables into unique one-of- a-kind cables.

The Yarnover brochure contains full class descriptions.
