I have loved knitting from the first time I cast on. From working through a maze of cables, to balancing the thin stitches of fine lace, I never tire of the time spent in this medium. It challenges me the most. Then, I fell in love with crocheted lace! – A love affair that began my designing career.
Though I love playing with texture in knitting, it’s in lace crochet that I’m the most fluent. I easily think in crochet. When I started designing in 1986, I packed away all my patterns. I didn’t want any direct influence, only what was inside me – draw upon my experiences. Publishers liked what they saw and kept me busy for 14 years.
Publishing deadlines and life didn’t mix well, so I eased out of freelance work for a while. The Internet opened up a whole new way of connecting with other stitchers so I launched a website, or three, and began exploring the world of self-publishing. To date, I have raised my family and my time is my own to once again delve into creative expression. I’m back to work on my designs and hope to have more to show in the coming weeks.
