Our writers
Maggie LindenFounding editorMaggie Linden started Loose Ends to keep track of her own pattern notes and it slowly became a part-time job. She knits in a sunroom full of yarn baskets, washes every test swatch three times before she'll recommend a yarn, and still blocks every finished piece before it photographs for the site.
Ada VasekPattern and technique writerAda Vasek spent eleven years as a technical knitwear grader before she started writing about patterns for a living, which is why she reads a schematic before she reads a review. She has knitted more than sixty pairs of socks off paid patterns and keeps a spreadsheet of every heel turn that's ever fought her.
Beatrice NolanFree patterns and quick-project writerBeatrice Nolan taught herself macrame from a library book during a long maternity leave and has been designing one-evening projects ever since. She tests every free pattern on a total beginner, usually one of her own kids, before it goes up on the site.
