It often amazes me to see what can happen when two sticks, a piece of string and an idea, come together. I almost can't remember a time when I was not knitting.  Growing up,  I had the best dressed Barbie doll in the neighborhood! 

 

That simple beginning has led me to create unique hand knit pieces, design and publish hundreds of patterns for major yarn companies and publications, and travel to Italy to attend the world's premier yarn trade shows, where I have worked with renowned Italian yarn producers, famous for producing the finest of fibers for centuries. 

​

The beautiful yarns I work with include cashmere,  angora,  mohair,  merino wool, alpaca, cotton and other fine hand-spun, hand-dyed, man-made fibers. A project may be made from a single type of yarn, several yarns or in some instances as many as fifty or more different yarns! Cardigans are finished with unique buttons of handmade glass, ceramic, abalone and other materials, including antique buttons.

 

Knitting allows me to do something I truly love. As I design and hand knit each piece,  I am inspired by color, texture, the beauty in nature and of great masterpieces, to create unique pieces that are functional or decorative, wearable art.
