I had the opportunity to learn how to knit in 2014, when I decided to make a costume of my favorite book character Sabriel. At the time, I rejected knitting in favor of learning how to make chain mail and scale mail (what was I thinking?!?!). One year later, a friend insisted on teaching me how to knit to keep myself busy while on a long break from work, and I realized I should have just learned the first time around! I’ve been hooked ever since.
I design things that I like to knit - loose, comfortable garments with straightforward designs and easy-to-remember patterns, with a challenging construction or stitch pattern thrown in here and there. If it can bust stash at the same time, so much the better. My goal in all things is “delightful, and a little weird.”
I primarily design for adults, and I’m committed to inclusive sizing, which means my sweater patterns will run from 30” to 60” bust sizes at a minimum, and my sock patterns will include instructions for optional calf shaping. I’m also committed to anti-racist work, which guides what individuals and companies I partner with, and where I buy from or donate to.
