Knitting: Cowl
I first envisioned this 2-sided cowl design while working through some personal challenges. I began thinking of how we carry ourselves in the presence of others. It’s entirely possible to have a bright exterior while simultaneously working through inner struggles, or vice versa.

Knitting: Balaclava
While working on my Adulthood design for my husband, my son looked at it and said, “Mom, this design leaves kids out. How about a CHILDHOOD?” Yes, of course! This design is truly the offspring version of my Adulthood design: it is worked in worsted weight acrylic and can be easily laundered in the washer and dryer. The gauge and thickness provi...

The lines create the space, and the space becomes a physical manifestation as a result of the placement of some simple lines.
