About My Patterns

Here are a few of my more recent patterns. All of my designs are created with the idea that knitters will be using yarns from their stash and adding in other yarns if necessary. This is my style and what I like to do. It gives me pleasure to salvage small amounts of yarn and I hope you will get satisfaction from doing this as well. In visualizing my designs, my challenge is to incorporate basic geometric shapes in an unusual or interesting silhouette, and use a lot of different yarns, textures and fibers. I hope this style of knitting will be engaging, stimulating and enjoyable for you.
