Thea Colman
Thea Colman left a career in advertising to design knitting patterns that feature lots of cables, lace, and other details. (Thea is easily distracted when working in stockinette.) Designing under the name BabyCocktails, she names each pattern after a different spirit or drink, which means that she’s always justified when spending the afternoon knitting and experimenting with ingredients in the quest for the perfect gin and tonic. You can follow Thea’s exploits in knitwear and mixology on her blog.
