About me

My website opens in new window

I am a knitwear designer and military spouse. I write patterns that are easy to knit. Many of them use encoded lace, as I take inpiration from people, places, and things that are dear to me; I then turn them into lace knitting patterns based on an alphabetic code. My designs feature clean lines, simple shapes, and bold colors.

More about me:

Most or all of my patterns have the following inclusivity features:

  • Size inclusive and/or size-independent
  • Charted and written instructions

How to get in touch with me: Please email me.

Can you share my images (attributed, with no edits): Yes
