About Cynthia

I taught writing and ed. psych. at Penn State for many years, but I’ve spent the past 20 years writing patterns, and surrounding myself with knitting, cross stitch, and quilting.

Really Clear patterns came about after working with hundreds of knitters and quilters, and learning what they wanted in a pattern. My mission is to help both crafters and local shops thrive!

Fun fact: I’m the 2023-24 president of TNNA.

Really Clear’s Approach

Really Clear patterns are colorful, fun, and bold! And there are extra benefits in each pattern:

  • You'll understand the why in addition to the what.

  • You'll have options, so you feel free to make your knitting your own. 

  • You’ll understand what the words mean.

  • You'll be able to keep track of where you are in case you're interrupted.

When you use a Really Clear pattern, you'll feel as if you have a helpful friend sitting by your side.

Relax—it's Really Clear.
