As a knitter, I’ve been working to take on lots of traditional and non-traditional techniques. Then I often set out on my own. Sometimes one of my experiments seems repeatable, and when that happens, I try to post a breadcrumb trail. Does that make me a designer? Charles Eames said everyone is a designer. You can hardly live on this planet without making something, right? Well, I don’t know how to write patterns that people can easily follow. So most of the time, you’ll see photographs and charts, with encouragement to take them and make them your own. Free stuff. I hope if something here inspires you, that you’ll send a link or a photo. I’d love to see it.
