Hello and thanks for looking! I’ve been knitting since my aunt taught me when I was 7 years old. I’ve always enjoyed playing around with patterns and hardly ever knit anything without changing the pattern.

I’m an avid spinner and spin most of my yarn these days. I enjoy visiting local farms and meeting the animals that provide me with fleece for my projects. I hand process and dye the fleece myself in my studio.

Recently I went on a slipper spree and decided to make my own line of knitting patterns representing Pacific Northwest animals. I started with a wolf slipper for the most common women’s sizes. Now I’m working on the same pattern for larger men’s sizes. Next I’d like to create a grizzly bear design.

If you would like to see what I’m up to, please visit my blog which is listed above. I also have an etsy store where I sell my patterns and leather soles to go with them.
