Laura Ferguson For Purl Soho

These knitting patterns and tutorials were written by Laura Ferguson for Purl Soho. After nearly two decades in Brooklyn, Laura now lives in Los Angeles and serves as Purl Soho’s VP of Operations and Design Director, having started as a sales associate in 2010. Taught to knit by her grandmother and later re-taught by her mother, working at the shop cracked the craft open for her in a new way and she began designing. She loves stockinette stitch, her baseline for exploring yarn, structure, and shape, and delights in precise details like perfectly mirrored decreases or a delicate rolled edge. When she isn’t knitting, she loves mending well-loved garments, feasting with her family, and being walked by her hound dog, Ugo.
