About me

My website opens in new window

I design in knit, crochet and Tunisian crochet and think they're equally exciting! I particularly enjoy lace in knit and Tunisian crochet. My Trinary shawl (free in Knitty) incorporates lace in all three crafts. I've recently designed in brioche, which I think has very interesting possibilities. My work has been published by Inside Crochet magazine, Kelbourne Woolens and Cascade Yarns, amongst others. I find it inspiring to be teaching Tunisian crochet at Vogue Virtual Knitting Live!
