About me: I’ve been knitting since my oma taught me when I was a child, and I taught myself both crochet and tunisian crochet later on.

I primarily design scarves and household items (mug cozies, throw pillows, etc).

Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Diversity: I value creating a truly diverse and just fiber community. To that end, I am using pay what works pricing, and I am committed to including a range of sizes when appropriate. It is my intention to avoid cultural appropriation with my patterns or their names; please contact me if you have concerns.

Pride Knits: I have a few pride related patterns. I do not want cost to be a barrier to accessing these patterns, so the code PRIDE may be used to access these patterns for free; please do what feels appropriate for you.
I have some trans pride patterns that I designed as gifts for friends, but I am not a trans person. Therefore, I have have the pronoun charts free and committed to donating 60% of proceeds from other patterns to the Trans Life Line. The code PRIDE may also be used to access these patterns for free.

Gender Norms: I try to challenge gender norms with my patterns by combining “feminine” and “masculine” elements in my designs. I refuse to gender any of my designs; I mark all my clothing pieces as unisex or leave the category unmarked. I will never gender my patterns.

Pay What Works Pricing: In an effort to both value my work and make the fiber community accessible, I am using pay what you can pricing. Use whichever of the following codes or no code feels right to you.
BAIBD1 - 10% off
BAIBD2 - 20% off
BAIBD3 - 30% off

I am using the pay what works pricing model and offering my pride knits for free to support accessibility to our community--particularly to folks from marginalized backgrounds. If you are able to support me financially and would like to, you can buy me a “coffee” here.
