The creative process is the inspiration behind the mitt set, which is a visual representation of the journey one takes in finding yourself, along with the people and the moments that leave their mark. The centerpiece was inspired by a vintage cross stitch image, this starting point was an intention inclusion, a testament to one’s origins and early beginnings. How the image changed and grew, how it evolved over the years I worked on this, and the two, complementary, yet, different designs that emerged were a symbol of the movement and growth that continues throughout our journey and lives.

With my latest series of designs I want to explore the diversity of South Africa’s flora and fauna, which form 10%-15% of the world’s plant and marine life. This pattern celebrates the emperor swallowtail, South Africa’s largest butterfly!

Inspired by an online community project, these colourwork mitts feature stylized sunflower motifs. I wanted to play with the idea of abstracted sunflowers, with a strong contrast, and chose neon yellow and black to symbolize the importance of finding joy, and cultivating your inner light, in the presence of darkness. The matching cowl can be fo...

Amidst all the anxiety and fear that is permeating the world at the moment, I felt drawn to share something - not only as a reminder of the beauty and joy that is present in our lives, but also of the transformative power of change, a reminder that those who challenge us can make us strong, encourage us to be resolute and determined, and can se...

The Interlocked cable cowl is an artistic representation of our journey on earth, it is about the inexplicable pull we have towards specific people, places, and things -for me it is about what it means to live the life you have always held deep in your heart. It is a celebration of all those who have given to me in my journey, it is a celebrati...

This cowl is a companion piece to the Liminality Hat and is an exploration of the experience of embodying a liminal space. The psychological process of change, and the uncertainty that one feels in the process of becoming and the sense of calm and knowing that slowly begins to emerge. For me, this process, or journey, is metaphorically categori...

Jimi Hendrix:

The inspiration for this ebook are four members of the 27 club, many of the members of this group have touched my life, albeit in different ways, and I wanted to explore the impact of art and popular culture through a series of socks that loosely play off the artists and musicians, but more importantly the lasting impact that has transcended th...

These socks were inspired by my Sparkly Human and Wild at Heart mug and glass set that was a gift from my Mom. The bright colours and cheerful font always makes me smile, and I wanted to try capture the sense of whimsy and joy in these Sparkling Human socks!

When you escape the constant busyness, when you slow down, you start to hear, to feel, your heart’s true call. A small plea, a chest crushing ache, a longing – there is something you need to say, something you need to do. A union of self, an unfolding, a remembering – the calm that follows a truth that is finally being expressed.

This piece is inspired by the flight of the stormy petrel over a calm ocean, the cables are intended to imitate the gentle curves and the subtle caress of the ocean surface, along with it’s undulating waves.

This summer socks feature a simple cable design inspired by traditional wickerwork.

This hat is inspired by the structure of the neuron, the physics that governs our understanding of the passage of time and the work of physicist Carlo Rovelli. In our current understanding, the direction of time is governed by the law which states that heat cannot pass from a cold to a hot body, and it is this unavoidable passage that enables u...

This hat is an exploration of the experience of embodying a liminal space. The psychological process of change, and the uncertainty that one feels in the process of becoming, the precipice where you are not the same person you once were but are not yet who you are meant to become. For me, this process, or journey, is metaphorically categorized ...

The companion piece to the Midnight Blue Hat and Cowl.

Prior to designing this cowl, I was contemplating the power of change, and how the difficulties that we face can inspire us to turn inward, and find our inner strength. And with this design, I was seeking to express the beauty inherent within inner change and transformation.

A Study in Blue Cowl is the companion piece to the Audacity Hat.

Audacity – “boldness or daring, esp. with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional though, or other restrictions” (Collins Dictionary)

The inspiration for this cowl was drawn from the arlecchino, or harlequin, costume and was designed to match the Arlecchino Diamond hat.

“Let this be a time that you remember that your life is greater than simply being a person in the world who has basic needs. It is this greater part of you—this greater calling and this greater purpose—that gives meaning to all the lesser aspects of yourself and unites them harmoniously and fulfills their roles.” M Summers

The inspiration for this hat was drawn from the arlecchino, or harlequin, costume. The print of repeating diamond motifs and the unique undulating shape of the harlequin hat, which is emulated by the cable design featured on the crown.

This cowl was inspired by the phalaenopsis, or moth, orchid. The phalaenopsis orchid has a special place in my heart. Not only are they my favourite flowers but they always remind me to be grateful for the beauty that life has to offer. One of my moth orchids had a flower stem that was accidentally broken twice in one season, and each time a ne...

The second of my stash dive hats, this one was knitted with my Mom in mind, she loves dogs and all shades of blue - and her dog, Gatsby, is a lovely rust/red colour. I had a small amount of the rust brown left in my stash, along with small amounts of turquoise, blue and a lovely pink - hence a wavy hat with little dogs! :smiley:

This hat issued from a scrap yarn stash dive, picking some of my favourite leftover yarn and seeing what I could do with it - this, admittedly slightly arbitrary, geometric themed hat was the result. I had so much fun knitting this and I hope that this design sparks joy in others too!

The inspiration for this hat was drawn from the floral designs that were prominent on vintage filet crochet nightgown yokes, along with the gorgeous conebush, or leucadendron, flowers. These shrubs are a unique dioecious member of the fynbos species and are a vital part of the fynbos ecosystem of South Africa. This particular image was drawn fr...

I can remember my Great Aunt bringing us some Sweet Alyssum flowers as a gift, purple and white, and how seeing these flowers pop-up in the most unexpected places brought me such joy as a little girl. I can remember the purple flowers growing amidst the grass and popping up in pavement cracks - I was hoping to capture that element of wonder and...

“There was a wise old owl who sat in a tree, the less he spoke the more he heard, the more he heard the less he spoke. Why can’t we be like that wise old owl in the tree?”

My Aunt found Odin injured on the side of the road, she took him to the vet to get his eye fixed and fostered him in hopes of finding him a home. When my aunt passed away, no one wanted Odin and they were planning on putting him down, my Mom decided to take Odin along with my Aunt’s other dog Veve. I decided to travel with her to help with the ...

This is something I’ve been sitting with for a long time, I love free designs, they bring me joy and, hopefully, others too. This was less about making money then it was about the journey that it represents, the recognition that you not living the life you are mea...

This pattern was designed to use one skein of Malabrigo Rios, and was inspired by the colourway, Liquidambar, which brought the beauty, and the mystery, of the Wilderness experience to mind. This is an ode to those who walk in the Wilderness, whose lives embody the Mystery.

This hat is a celebration of inspiration and the beauty of creativity.
