I was born and raised in Minnesota, and am continually awed and inspired by the beauty of the lakes, forests, bluffs, trails, and wildlife here. A lifelong knitter and instructor, I turned to design during “Life 2.0” (a big move, empty nest, and wanting a career change) and now create patterns for simple, soul-filled living inspired by the natural elements and quiet times I spend in nature. I strive to create designs that will enfold you like a warm hug and make you smile.
