She was a 1979 World bronze medallist[1] and two-time Scott Tournament of Hearts champion (1976, 1979).

In 2006, she was inducted into Canadian Curling Hall of Fame together with all of the 1979 Lindsay Sparkes team.[2]

Knolwes was a teacher, and in the late 1970s, she used her knowledge and training to assist in the advancement of curling as one of the first members of the Curl Canada Coaching Program. The first-ever set of curling instructional films was developed in 1980 and Knowles was one of the models used in the six-part series. In 1982, the Canadian Curling Association introduced the National Team Leader Program and Knowles was the first person to assume the role, travelling to the women's world championship with Canada's representative, the team of Colleen Jones, Kay Smith, Monica Jones and Barbara Jones-Gordon.

gollark: There's loads of cool psi stuff gated behind the end, so I can't just ignore endermen.
gollark: My least favourite part is probably hunting endermen constantly for pearls which so many modded recipes need.
gollark: This is much better than the old "chests" we had to deal with.
gollark: We have this nice AE2 setup, and also coincidentally almost more certus quartz.
