Janet Nogle – janetsknittingroom.blogspot.com Janet has been crocheting and knitting for 10 plus years and took up designing when she couldn’t find a design she had in her head and decided to put it down on paper.

Janet has been working with the “Dishcloth Hangups” Calendar for the last five years for the very same reason…nothing out there had what she wanted and much to her amazement others were going through the same thing. You can find most of her designs on the MonthlyDishcloth group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/) or her personal blog at: http://janetsknittingroom.blogspot.com/. Janet welcomes feedback and suggestions from her readers/knitters and anyone who would like to email. She can be contacted at jnogle@cox.net

She especially enjoys the use of color in her designs and has been a big fan of Peaches & Crème yarns and threads since she began designing. Sue has made many lifelong friends through her designing.

After retiring from her pesky day job, she opened The Sandpiper’s Nest: a quiet place where she can teach classes and block finished items without her cats napping on them.
