I’ve been knitting and crocheting for almost 30 years and always loved tinkering with patterns. In 2010 I started designing in earnest when a prolonged medical leave found me with little strength for knitting but considerable time to explore and write out my yarny ideas.

I like to knit and design simple, elegant accessories with a bit of whimsy--accessories to make the most of today’s gorgeous hand-dyed luxury yarns.

Why “rosyposy designs” as a name? After going through chronic fatigue syndrome and breast cancer treatment at the same time, I forced myself to take a positive outlook on life, otherwise I would end up crazy and depressed. “RosiePosie” was a nickname my friends and family used when I was little, and I remember hating it. I chose a resurrected form of this name to remind myself of my new take on life, where despite everything, I can choose to view my life as rosy.

Life is short. Make it beautiful.

These days I’m more active on Instagram: @roseisarosetoo
I also design and sew unique project bags and list them on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/roseisaroseshop
