I am a designer, fiber artist and blogger from Baltimore, MD. I have three beautiful children and I love writing, cooking, surfing the net, and playing in fiber.

The journey I have been on for the last two years has been a profound experience. I have gone from just crocheting hats and scarves to blankets, and other things. I usually always use the patterns of others, sometimes modifying the patterns to suit my tastes.

When I gave birth to my youngest child in 2010, I decided soon after that I wanted to knit. I think at that point, the fiber world had me at “Hello”. As someone who (used to) exclusively crochet with acrylic (ack!) yarn, I found a great deal of frustration with yarn sometimes.

But out of pure curiosity, I have discovered the world of fiber, and thus spinning, dyeing and other fiber goodness. I have fallen deep in love.

So now I’m hooked! And with a new lease on life, I’m taking life by the horns and giving it a good shake.

In my shaking, I find that I like to design and find it a fulfilling and challenging endeavor.

As if having three children and a full time job doesn’t present is own set of challenges. :/

But I hope my designs invoke discussion about the possibilities of fiber art beyond the traditional. I look to break molds, tear down barriers and “think outside the hook”.
