Curiosity, exploration and an ever expanding plan for world domination are central to the work of knitwear designer and indie hand dyer, instructor and size inclusivity advocate Kim McBrien Evans. Known for designs that turn abstract ideas into colour-filled hand knit reality while simultaneously fitting and honouring every body, Kim aims to revolutionize sweater fit, sizing, and how diverse bodies are represented in the yarn world through research, education, and collaborations with makers worldwide. She is the author of The Knitter’s Sweater Knitting Bible and co-author of Custom Shawls.

Kim has been a professional fibre arts instructor since 1992. Her current focus is on creative knitwear design and sweater fit. She has taught for organizations such as Vogue Knitting, Red Alder, Stitches, Knit City, Edinburgh Yarn Festival, and guilds and shops all over Canada, the US, and the UK.
