I enjoy thinking up patterns, most of my inspiration comes from being stuck in rush hour traffic. I’m trying to find a way to continue designing and testing now that I have a cute distraction named Lucky dieBarbarin to occupy my evenings.

Originally the idea for outside-in patterns came from my husband. He noticed I was constantly measuring and asked if it wouldn’t be easier to start on the outer round so the final measurement would always be 12in.

CYOA started as a suggestion from Lettice and swiftlysparrow that it would be fun to work a mystery block from the outside in with the stitcher choosing their own centers.
