Growing up on a rural Southern Tier dairy farm, my family knew the value of handmade. My mother taught me to knit at an early age, and although I didn't see the value in it then, the enjoyment I received from creating something with my own hands has never left me.
My knitting patterns reflect my traditional, rural upbringing paired with a sense of taste that is becoming more and more liberated with each subsequent design. I notice my color palette becoming more adventurous and while my patterns themselves still follow those uncomplicated traditional lines, I can feel that same sense of adventure tugging at my sleeve and asking me to test new boundaries.
I am always happy to hear from fellow knitters and welcome questions on any of my designs - before or after purchase.
