My name is Ryan Marnell. I was born in New York, but lived most of my life in Marietta, Georgia. It was there that I learned how to play guitar, viola and turntables, picked up breakdancing, and became interested in graffiti as a form of expression. In the autumn of my sophomore year, my good friend Nathalie Baudrand taught me how to knit as we sat on a bus for an English field trip. Soon afterwards, we started a knitting club at our school with the help of Shauna Boyle. It became extremely controversial for no reason, but was an incredible success.

In the summer after my sophomore year, I moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania. With absolutely nothing to do in Allentown, I focused on my knitting and designing. Since then, I have had designs published in the popular online magazine Knitty. I have been featured in articles in the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Easy Knit & Crochet Ideas (a Woman's Day publication). I'm always busy with knitting, designing, music, and some other stuff.

I will be attending Dartmouth College in the Fall of this year. It will be really chill.
