I have been knitting for 14 years. I started knitting right before my first child was born. I started with a scarf, moved to a cardigan and then to a baptism gown! I loved to knit, but hated seamed patterns. I started designing my own seamless knit patterns.
I have an electronic systems engineering degree, but currently am at home with my children. I love the challenge of numbers, so writing up my patterns is great for me!
Please enjoy my patterns. They are modern and mostly seamless! Happy Knitting!
