Midnightsky Fibers
Started when I was a teenager selling handspun yarn, Midnightsky Fibers has morphed into a knitting pattern and knitwear shop.
I design knitting patterns that are fun- a little something for that interesting yarn you found on vacation and need the perfect project for, or for the next project that will put you a smidge out of your comfort zone. And when you need almost mindless knitting you can stick in your travel bag? I have patterns for that too.
Knitwear: I like to knit with fibers and colors that strike my fancy, and let the yarns dictate my patterns. I find the yarns for my hats all over the place-from vintage yarns at thrift stores, to upcycled yarn from unravelling sweaters, to local handspun in fabulous colors from local spinners.
In college I worked and taught at a local yarn store and interned with Earth Hues, a natural dye company. I have also done production knitting for a small local company in Seattle. When I am not knitting or designing patterns you can occasionally find me tech editing for other designers.
