1 How did you first get introduced to your craft?

I started knitting in 2006. My husband and I were living away from home on a job site, and his boss’s wife taught me how to knit. My first project was a felted purse!

2 What type of patterns do you enjoy designing the most?

I love to make felted projects. It is fun to see what they turn into after felting, which is very forgiving!

3 What are you most known for?

Felted purses and hats! I love felting hats and am always asked by others where they can get my designs.

4 How do you jump-start your creativity?

just think of something I would like.

5 What season inspires you the most?

I am inspired by all the seasons!

6 On average, how many new patterns do you design each year?

I only design a pattern if I am hit by something I would like to make. So I don’t create a lot of patterns, but I like to do it!

7 Is there another craft you'd like to try your hand at?

I am trying my hand at crochet and have been having fun making crocheted rag hot pads for 9"e; x 13"e; pans.

8 What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

Sundays after services I generally hit the sofa and knit while watching my favorite TV “preachers.”

9 What three items do you always have in your craft bag?

My craft bag always has a laser light to knit in the dark, stitch markers and scissors.
