About Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark:

I spend my days dyeing a spectrum of yarns, and my evenings thinking up new projects to play with all of those colors.  My background in fiberarts began as a young child in Connecticut, and grew into a pursuit of a B.F.A. in Fiberarts from the Savannah College of Art and Design (B.F.A. Fibers, 1999).  My original major was sequential art (comic book geek), but tactile fibers drew me back in.  I still draw pictures, though.

My freelance knitwear designs can be seen in Interweave Knits, Twist Collective, Fons & Porter’s Love of Knitting, Mason Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines, Lace Style, Knitty, as well as patterns for yarn companies such as Classic Elite, Kollage Yarns, and Polarknit.

I live in the land of kudzu, AKA Birmingham, Alabama, with my husband Chris, three dogs, two cats, and a herd of woolie dust buffalo (I’m a great cook, but an indifferent housekeeper).  In addition to my constant obsession with knitting and crochet; I also love photography, especially with film cameras, sewing, embroidery, drawing, bookbinding, cooking (and eating! Oh, the eating.), and bellydancing.

Find me on twitter (@mercedesKSD), ravelry (thepiebird), and flickr (pie_bird).  You can also visit my personal blog and design website, Piebird Design.


There’s also behind the scenes help around the KSD studio, so let me introduce you to the crew:

Kristin, AKA Girl Friday

Kristin is my go-to helper and best friend.  She’s an organizational whiz, which helps tame the messes I tend to create, and is an *expert* at skeining yarn, battling paperwork, and making spreadsheets (aak, spreadsheets!).  She encourages all the right kinds of crazy around these parts.

More crew member bios coming soon!
