About Charlene Shafer Books

Charlene Shafer is a perfect example of a hobby knitter turned pro, who can now boast of a business 40 + years old. Location, location, location. Charlene Shafer's 'Knit Knack Shop' isn't exactly at the crossroads of the country, but when she first opened her shop in 1978, today's business professionals were still in diapers, and she hadn't heard that opening a shop in the middle of a cornfield wasn't the best choice. Charlene started machine knitting in January of 1969. Teaching is a love and knitting is a passion. Charlene has authored over 200 books on anything from Crafty Ideas, Afghans, Baby Clothes, Holiday Items and many books of garments. Charlene's husband Harold and son Noel work with her at the shop. Her daughters Tricia, Cheri & Missy round out the family and the nine grandchildren are the icing on the cake. Charlene is working on new books and loves to teach at workshops and seminars. Knitting, biking, cooking, reading and of course playing with the grandkids are her favorite pass times.
