I am a computer programmer by day. Wife, mother and aspiring designer by nights and weekends.

I have been knitting and crocheting for 35+ years and designed my first sweater as a teenager for a 4H project. My doll clothes patterns are based on the requests of my daughters and nieces. My other patterns are inspired by either a need on my part (like a hat to match my winter coat) or trying something new that I have never made before, such as a faroese shawl.
