Karie Westermann is an award-winning writer, teacher, designer and the author of This Thing of Paper, a book inspired by her love of medieval manuscripts and libraries. She was born in Denmark and now lives in Glasgow, Scotland.

Her Scandinavian background fuels her interest in textiles as storytelling while her life in Scotland informs her love of colour and heritage. Karie teaches regularly across Europe with Edinburgh Yarn Festival, Woollinn Dublin, Oslo Strikkefestival and Copenhagen KnitWorks as some of her clients. She also designs for yarn companies and writes about craft for magazines. Her publication list includes appearances in the recent ‘Knit With Attitude: 10 Years Anniversary’ and The Official Outlander Knitting Book. Karie is currently working on her second book.
