My grandma was having alot of trouble understanding the pattern with how it was scattered around and inconsistent sizing of each parts, but ive manage to craft her a visually easier one. Maybe editing the digital pattern to make it consistent in size and order? Beside that little hiccup im very happy with it^^

On Etsy since 2011

One of my most popular patterns, "Tracery" uses stranded knitting to create the appearance of stained-glass windows.
Featured in Knitty.com - it's a different way to do socks! "Hat-heel socks" are made from the heel out.
Also featured in Knitty.com - "Celtic Triad" uses my hat-heel sock construction to create cables in unexpected places.

It's not as hard as it looks!

I learned to knit as a child, over thirty-five years ago. When I rediscovered it in adulthood, I was utterly hooked. It wasn't long before I was designing my own pieces. For me, inspiration can and does come from just about anything. I love creating new things! My body of work includes designs in many publications around the world, such as Knitty.com, Knit Now, I Like Knitting, and numerous titles from Interweave Press.

I firmly believe that if you know the basics of knitting, you already have the essential skills to be able to do anything a pattern may ask of you. I strive to make my instructions clear and understandable so that anyone can make my designs.
