Well it all started last year shortly after I taught myself to knit. Some of my friends thought it would be a good idea if I sold my creations on Etsy. But...I didn't know anything about Etsy! Oops! Thankfully they introduced me to Etsy's amazingness and I was hooked. Each item that I create is so fulfilling. I love that someone somewhere is wearing a scarf I knit and truly appreciates what I do.

When did you first learn to knit and who taught you?

I taught myself to knit last summer after reading "The Friday Night Knitting Club". I was so inspired to knit that I got up out of my chair, went to Michael's and bought some yarn and knitting needles. For the rest of the day, I sat in front of the computer watching YouTube videos about casting on and knitting my first stitches. After a few failed attempts....and throwing my needles across the room...I finally got the hang of it! Now I am completely in love with knitting and wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have it in my life.

What inspires your pieces?

I really like classic designs mixed with bright colors. I'm a little color-obsessed. When I find a unique color of yarn, I tend to design a new piece around that color.

and just for fun, what is your favorite flavor of coffee and tea?

I love all coffee. I'm a coffee fanatic and I usually like it pretty strong.My favorite flavor of tea is definitely Earl Grey. It makes me feel very British. ;-)
