About The Artist

Hello!  I began working in knitwear design in 2020, after 29 years as a hobbyist in the fiber arts.  I am interested in designing many types of patterns for knitters, with a particular focus on designing garments.  I have a deep love for a good handknit cardigan or an intricate colorwork pullover.  

I am truly inspired by my peers in the knitwear design community, particularly Joji Locatelli, Caitlin Hunter of Boyland Knitworks, and PetiteKnit.  I enjoy seeing what is new and engaging for the knitting community, and challenging myself to design garments and accessories that may inspire a fellow knitter to deepen their craft and learn something new.  I offer knitting tutorials to accompany the skills used in my patterns in an effort to empower knitters to find my patterns to be achievable despite their level of experience.
