Patterns + bling for modern knitters
Hello from Australia! You’ll pretty much always find me dreaming about my next favourite shawl - the accessory I most love to design, knit and wear. Otherwise I’ll be wandering about my vegetable garden, nearby bush or perhaps a little escape to the beach.
With a background in painting, I have a passion for colour and interesting design.
Making is my happy place and has been since I was a girl surrounded by the chaos of my mothers textile art and design. She had a basket of fabric that was taller and longer than me - I could literally dive in!
In knitting I have found a craft that resonates deeply within me. My knitting designs come from both a practical need - wanting to create items for myself and others to wear and also a compulsion to express myself creatively. I am influenced by everything around me; fashion, nature, beautiful yarn, favorite artworks.
I design contemporary knitwear patterns, with a nod to retro and geometric design. Patterns that are straight forward to make and fun to wear.
I live in a regional town in Australia, with a vibrant artistic community, with my architect partner and our beautiful son.
