30 Second Rundown:
Pearl-McPhee is best known for her successful blog about knitting, The Yarn Harlot, but she has also contributed articles and patterns to knitting magazines such as Cast On, Interweave Knits, Knitty, Stranded, and Spin Off and written six books on knitting. Pearl-McPhee is an active figure in organizing activities around knitting: in 2004 she founded a non-profit called Tricoteuses sans Frontières (Knitters without Borders) which has raised over $434,000 CAD for the non-profit organization Doctors without Borders.
Why She Matters:
Known as the ‘Knitting Sensei’, Pearl-McPhee might not be the most important figure to everyone, but the knitting world pays close attention to what she says and does. Pearl-McPhee is not only the most influential knitter online, but also a knitter who uses her position for greater good through her non-profit organization. Her blog was also recently voted the ‘Best Canadian Blog‘ of 2007, as well as the ‘Best Hobby Blog‘ on Blogger’s Choice Awards.
