About the author
Sunita Giri was born in Parsa, Bharatpur, but raised and educated in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Like every girl growing up in the ‘80s, she was one in the budding bunch who saw all the girls around her with their needles and wool balls during winter holidays. As she remembers it, the best part of that era was, there was no TV, no computer, no internet service, and no mobile in our hands to distract our minds. So, if you are keen on learning and spending your valuable time to keep your mind busy on something useful then you have very few options, knitting being one of them. Either you love it or you hate it. Sunita loved it, and now she does her designs, especially blankets, on the computer and loves watching YouTube while knitting and connects with knitters around the world on many Facebook groups. During her early work life she spent many years in the Travel/Tourism and Hospitality Industries and later on in Advertising and Marketing.
There has been no turning back for her since she learned knitting when she was only about 5 years old. She became acquainted with western and European knitting styles in her early years and later on she learned Japanese techniques. One of her core Skill is her ability to grasp the intricate signs/charts used in Japanese catalogues, without knowing a single word of Japanese. And that’s what separates her from the rest of the crowd. She puts Japanese styles at the top of her list when it comes to patterns or detail oriented teaching methods. In this book she shares her over 40 years of knitting experience. So, in her book and in her teaching style, she acts as a bridge to bring out the best of East and West.
Today, a couple of decades later, she takes pride in saying “I am a knitter and a designer.” She also takes pride in adding, “I never took a break from knitting, never in my life, not even when working.” She has made close to a thousands [1,000] caps, in addition to all her many other projects, which she donated to over 40 children homes in Nepal since 2015, using a charity that she founded, Winter Project. So, in this book you get about two dozens of her favorite caps which you too will never get bored making again and again.
