After designing and producing fabric wallets at Blissful on Etsy, Quenna rediscovered knitting. Tired of reworking patterns, she began designing her own garments, with an emphasis on top down construction, clean lines, and flattering silhouettes. She is based in Northern California. Her work has appeared in Knitscene, Interweave Knits, Knit Picks, Knit.Wear, and Twist Collective.
