Welcome to my pattern page: Shawls, stoles, capelets are the cornerstone of my knitting obsession. Throw in the occasional baby blanket, pair of socks, and cloche, and we’ve reached full-blown mania.

Having knitted for years, and made up designs which were not written down, it has been gratifying but challenging to design and write the patterns for others to use. Many of my patterns are found here on Ravelry in my own store and my Etsy shop, “Heirloomlaceknits,” and many are found in fellow-Raveler Nicole Feller-Johnson’s Etsy shop, “No Two Snowflakes.”

(By the way: I am very appreciatve when you buy my patterns. If you knit garments from my patterns and wish to sell the garments, by all means, have at it and best of luck. The pattern is mine; the resulting work is yours.)

Year in and year out, 10% of the proceeds of my sales go to Samaritan’s Purse.

I am a Christian, a wife, mother, new grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, niece, friend, interpreter, obsessive knitter, crossword puzzler, reader (of mysteries, historical biographies, 18th Century British seafaring novels), dog-lover, and remedial housekeeper.
