Cheryl Oberle has been teaching nationally and designing knitwear for several years. She has written for Interweave Knits and Knitters magazines, and Folk Vests is her second book, following Folk Shawls (Interweave Press, 2000). When she isn’t writing or creating new designs, you can find her in her studio—Cheryl Oberle Designs, in Denver, Colorado—dyeing yarns for her popular line of vests and shawls. She has held annual knitting retreats for many years, in both Taos, New Mexico, and at other locations throughout the Rocky Mountains.
