Rusty Boyd

Rusty Boyd has been a crocheter since the age of 9. At age 34, he took his first knitting class and was “hooked.” Since that time he has taught himself to knit lace, cables, stranded, mosaic and more. After attending his first Men’s Knitting Retreat, Rusty had his first pattern published by Skacel for their Simplicity Men’s Booklet. He has also been published by Love of Knitting, Love of Crochet, and self published on Ravelry. He is the Founder of the Southeast Men’s Knitting Retreat, which began in 2011 providing a weekend getaway for like minded male fiber enthusiasts. Rusty lives in Ahoskie, NC with his partner, Kevin, his daughter, Eleanor, her dog, Lily, a spinning wheel, 2 weaving looms, and a very large yarn stash.
