Please note: my patterns are no longer available as I have decided to close my Ravelry store.

I am originally from Tucson, Arizona; I lived in Iowa for 16 years and am now back in Tucson. I taught myself how to knit in my early 20’s and began designing in 2005.

I created Goddess Knits, in 2005, as a means to help support a failing yarn shop. It began with the very first, original, Mystery Shawl which was presented in a knit-along as a free pattern. It has continued to grow, from there, into a large line of handknitting designs including socks, mittens, and other accessories, as well as a large variety of lace shawls.

My intention, with Goddess Knits, was to create beautiful, affordable, well-written handknitting patterns for items from a basic pair of socks, or mittens, to heirloom quality lace shawls; designs that knitters will be proud to create for themselves, or others.

I previously had a hand-dyed yarn line called Decadently Divine; I dyed my yarns for all of my clubs and also sold them on Etsy.
