Confessions of a Fiber Fanatic...

I have been selling my original knitwear designs for the last 12 years in Toronto and Vancouver. Now based out of Vancouver, the designs are very west coast in nature. Inspired primarily by the wool, the pieces take on a life of their own and have a very free form flow to them.

Always told that knitting for a living was impossible (you naysayers know who you are) it was always just a dream until a corporate buyout gave me the chance to go on the wool shopping spree of a lifetime. Knitting for a living? Entirely Possible!

Etsy is an inspiring place to sell and custom work is more than welcome. If you are a BC local, you can see my work at Granville Island, The Filberg Festival on Vancouver Island and at the West End and Trout Lake Market over the summer market season. For you Toronto folks, you can see me at the One of a Kind Show.
