On this page, I share the knitting patterns I designed, knitting-themed short stories I wrote, and my interviews with knitwear designers. This isn't all my knitting "stuff", but I thought I'd start with the most popular first. Enjoy!

Stories about Knitting
Shared Passion
A short story about a group of women who meet in the woods to engage in their shared passion.
Have You Made A Warm Fuzzy?
You do good for the sake of being good--not because it will earn you some kind of reward. Or do you act out of selfishness? And if you act without any thought to self-gain, do you still receive a reward?
Icelandic Knitting Voyage
In 2007, I traveled to Iceland and learned a lot about the knitting done on that island.
The story behind the design: book sweater
The book sweater is one of my earliest designs. Why did I design that pattern? What problem did it solve?
The Lure of Yarn
Do you enjoy knitting or are you addicted? Did someone teach you to knit or did they get you hooked?
