About me

I am an indigenous Canadian. I have been knitting and crocheting for decades and love designing simple and meditative patterns, especially socks, really wearable accessories and anything scrappy! I love being a mom and my non-yarny interests include gardening and houseplants, baking, sewing, needlework and reading a ton. I collect teapots and teacups, and I love Christmas so much that I host a Christmas in July Makealong every year!
