Regina has been an avid knitter since 1993 and an independent self-publishing pattern designer since 2007. She opened her New Heritage Knits Etsy shop that year, followed by her Ravelry.com pattern store in 2008, where she soon became a 2009 Ravelry “Bobby Award” nominee for her 3-D Argyle Blanket design.

Regina also manages a Facebook page for her small business, where she shares updates about her ongoing work as a professional knitting instructor and pattern designer.

She is currently an active Miami Valley Knitting Guild member and was briefly employed as a knitting instructor at Centerville Knit and Crochet, a yarn shop in Centerville, Ohio. She is also continuing to work independently to release new knitwear designs for her fellow knitters to enjoy.

Regina has most recently done some consulting work for Marvelous Molds, a company in Cincinnati that specializes in manufacturing highly detailed silicone molds for use in professional cake decorating. She worked with them to create knitted swatches from which they generated master forms for their newest line of molds. You can purchase the molds directly from the manufacturer’s site, but Regina has established a wholesale agreement with the company to also offer them through her Etsy shop. Purchase your molds today and decorate cakes or cookies, or use them to mold chocolate, gelatin, clay, ceramic, wax, soap, or any number of crafting media!
