Knitting: Headband
A knit headband is small enough to fit in a spare bag or pocket and cozy enough to add a bit of warmth to your head on a hike or adventure around town. HIGH DESERT HEADBAND is a great project for practicing knit cables and showing off a bold color. A tied closure allows for an adjustable fit. The tapered shape is created with simple increases a...

Knitting: Cowl
I first envisioned this 2-sided cowl design while working through some personal challenges. I began thinking of how we carry ourselves in the presence of others. It’s entirely possible to have a bright exterior while simultaneously working through inner struggles, or vice versa.

After creating a knit marble fidget bracelet for my son I came up with the idea to use double knitting to make a pocket sized fidget toy. I like the small scale of this project for experimenting with a tubular cast on and tubular bind off while also making a small functional piece.

While working on my Adulthood design for my husband, my son looked at it and said, “Mom, this design leaves kids out. How about a CHILDHOOD?” Yes, of course! This design is truly the offspring version of my Adulthood design: it is worked in worsted weight acrylic and can be easily laundered in the washer and dryer. The gauge and thickness provi...

Knitting: Shawl / Wrap
Line drawings have a simple beauty in that they define and create space. Studying architecture, I discovered a beauty in the power of lineweights defining spaces, and spaces created by lines. The lines create the space, and the space becomes a physical manifestation as a result of the placement of some simple lines.
