Most of Walker's best-known knitting books have been reprinted, and starting in the mid-1990s, she has published new knitting books. Other books considered mosaic knitting, for producing multicolored designs while knitting only one color per row, and constructing knitted garments from the top down rather than the usual bottom-up method used in Western knitting tradition. Her Knitting Treasury series documents over a thousand different knitting stitches. In the 1960s and 1970s, Walker authored several volumes of knitting references which have become landmarks for their comprehensiveness and clarity. Other topics she has written about are religion, New Age, the occult, spirituality, and mythology. She is a knitting expert and the author of over ten encyclopedic knitting references, despite "not taking to it at all" when she first learned in college. Walker (born July 2, 1930, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American author and feminist.
