In my teaching and design work in the fiber arts (mainly crochet and knitting), I emphasize
garment designs that are light, comfortable, and easy to wear, like those you see on this page.
I hope you'll enjoy browsing this site, where you'll find:
-- crochet and knitting patterns you can order to make items of my own design, from sweaters to ponchos, that are classic without being stodgy, fun but not radical.
-- a calendar of upcoming classes and workshops I'll be teaching in the Washington D.C. area and at fiber arts gatherings all around the country.
-- yarn/pattern kits for producing some accessories (right now, see my Kits that let you create your own one-of-a-kind Painted Shawl (photo at right) in a variety of complementary colors to match your personal palette.
