Winter has flown by. New knit items are ” in the works”. Am working through the usual problem solving, swatching, machine crankiness (including a required deep cleaning of my passap machine). A note of thanks to galleries that have displayed and sold my work during the past season.

About Me
I construct my wearables using a variety of on and off the loom techniques to produce one of a kind and limited edition items. Spontaneity and a sense of humor are essential to my process.
Many pieces are reversible and can be worn different ways. The geometric construction, 3D shaping, surface patterns, decoration and joining are most often 'in the knit' rather than secondary operations.
Throughout the process I am intimately involved and engaged: creating and choosing techniques, incorporating surface embellishment. I'm frequently seduced by the endless possibilities of knitting, and the complexities of the resulting structures.
In my years of teaching I have shared the body of knowledge acquired through each of these explorations.Buy My Work At
