Emily Ringelman is a Midwest-born Californian living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she is an LSU scientist studying the viruses that infect sweet potatoes. Her favorite fall activity is stress knitting while yelling at the tv during Patriots games, but she also enjoys elaborate cooking projects, sewing her own clothes, and re-reading the Harry Potter books. Much of her design work is top-down, usually with either cables or a nautical bias. Find her on Twitter and Ravelry as EmilyRingelman.
