Mathematics and Sunflowers. Fibonacci numbers can be called natures numbering system. The sequence itself appears so simple. Yet, it appears over and over in nature, from sea shells to pinecones, flower petals to pineapples, from a grain of wheat to a galaxy.
If you look closely at the center of a sunflower there are two spirals, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. If you count the spirals in the center of the flower you will find that they are sequential Fibonacci numbers such as 8 and 13. These beautiful double spirals were the inspiration for this design.
For those mathematicians out there, I know the number of spirals are not Fibonacci numbers, but are a compromise for ease of design.

I have been knitting for more years than I care to count. Long haired dogs inspired me to learned to spin in 1996 with a drop spindle. Spinning introduced me to alpacas and I fell in love. Hand spun yarn from our black alpaca demanded to be lace, so I tried my hand at designing in 1998. Lace has become my passion. My designs are quite unique, including many ‘picture’ shawls such as Heere Be Dragone as well as more traditional styles. I have over 40 published lace patterns all unique in style and design.
