I have been crafty all of my life. My Mother was always doing something crafting something. She taught my how to sew, cross-stitch, embroider, crochet and eventually knit.

I have been knitting since June of 2009. Immediately, I was addicted and with every new project, there was a new skill learned. In May of 2012 I was inspired to design my own patterns.
