I have been knitting throughout my life since I was six years old. Recently, I began teaching knitting to small groups and individuals. I designed my first knitting pattern, the Mountain Poncho, as a project that beginners could work on after their initial scarf, hat, potholder or fingerless mitts. This is a really fun project that is written for six sizes. I am excited to work on more patterns that are inspired by nature and include simple ways to learn new knitting skills.
