Carolynn Sheu is a high school Art Teacher who lives and teaches in Ottawa, Ontario. Her love of knitting started at a young age when she was taught by her Grandmother. During COVID, she came across the Saltwater Mittens Facebook group and was intrigued by the tradition of Newfoundland & Labrador knitting. Giving the patters a try, her colourful knits caught the eye of Shirley Anne Scott; co-author with Christine LeGrow of the Saltwater Knitting Books and asked her to be a test knitter for their last book.

Three of her knits are featured in the book.  Carolynn continues to knit and explore the word of fibres through various traditional crafts while incorporating textiles into her own art making practices.

When her needles are at rest, she busies herself in the garden, foraging for mushrooms and enjoys adventures along with misadventures when in the kitchen.
