Stephanie Marks spent the first part of her career in mechanical and electrical design and drafting at Westinghouse R & D.  However, the majority of her career was spent at La Roche University in the Registrar’s Office and Faculty Offices until her retirement in July of 2021. Stephanie started knitting in ninth grade and remembers how awkward knitting was at first. With a little bit of encouragement and patience she quickly found it to be a very joyful and creative outlet. She enjoys teaching people the basics of knitting and seeing the pride on the face of a student when they complete a knitted project. Steph has taught at the Millvale library, at several rehabilitation facilities for women, and has taught all four of her granddaughters ages 6 through 14 and her five-year-old grandson. Stephanie has also moved on to progressive knitting techniques such as the Kitchener stitch and intarsia. She also enjoys creating and teaching more advanced pieces such as socks and sweaters and Christmas stockings. Knitting is her favorite pastime.
