About me

My website opens in new window

I write knitting patterns with simple shapes. One of the techniques I use is encoded lace. I take my inspiration from words, and then manipulate those words into knitting patterns. All of my lace patterns have a resting row, and are both charted and written. I also design graphic tees that are inspired by knitting or by things my family says. I am also a Marine spouse.
