About

I am a Mom and long time needle and yarn and textile worker who has come up with interesting and creative ways to avoid the efforts of TAKE (Those Against Knitting Enjoyment) to keep me from my knitterly pursuits. My life is full of obligations, happy pursuits and inspiration, which quickly manifest themselves into hand made creations complete with love inserted into each and every stitch!

I knit. I crochet. I cross stitch. I sew. My creativity is indulged in many art forms (many of them fibre arts). Knitting tops my list of favourites. It is portable, useful, and uses less yarn than crochet. I knit socks, sweaters, dog sweaters, cardigans, and a host of other items. My favourite yarns include natural fibres like wool (of course) and bamboo. I have been introduced to Chintin (spun crab and shrimp shells – so I’m told) and enjoy it very much. I have crocheted with plastic grocery bags, strips of cotton, and binder twine to create interesting items like throw rugs and shopping totes. My walls are adorned with many a cross stitched art piece that hold the memories of years past. My children were clothed in creations from my mind and had the best Hallowe’en costumes each year. I have sewn wedding dresses, graduation dresses, and continue to create my own clothing when I find a moment or two free.
