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.
The Sunkissed Skies Shawl is a bottom-up, triangular shawl with a glistening, beaded border. It’s inspired by the early summer sky over the beach, just as the peach glow of the sun peeks along the horizon. This shawl lends itself to be worn either traditionally or draped in a number of ways around the neck.

This toe-up sock pattern is reminiscent of taking a quiet walk on the beach at low tide, watching the waves of water coast onto shore and then rock back out to sea. The golden self-striping yarn adds a hint of fluidity to the pattern, like watching the sand slip through an hourglass.
