At the urging of my family and friends, I opened my Etsy shop in 2009. I have been knitting since age 8 and, like most creatives, I've explored everything from cat's cradle formations to installation art. My journey continues perpetually; I love learning new methods and challenging myself to create more deeply.

I am personally committed to living in a way that is gentle toward the environment, and my yarn choices reflect that lifestyle. I knit with yarns that are made ethically, sustainably, and simply – or in at least one of those ways. I prefer to buy yarns that are made in the USA or made from consciously run companies from around the world.

My goal in sharing my creativity with you is to bring back the warm, cozy feeling of wearing a special handmade item. I aspire toward living full and well-intentioned days, to move away from excess and mass production. I'm so glad the movement to appreciate small-batch goods is gaining momentum, and I'm happy to join the fun!
