    Hello!  I'm Donna.  I knit every day and enjoy designing knitwear that is artistic, intricate and comfortable.  I specialize in women's sweaters with a contemporary silhouette.  

    My website is all about the designs, but this blog is a bit more personal.  This is where I share helpful tips, knitting insight, and behind-the-scenes vision into the designs.  

     
    Knitting is a wonderful skill full of challenges and joys. It provides meditative qualities that are addictive. It's an outlet for creative thoughts and problem solving. It is a form of individual expression and pride.

    Thanks for coming!

    Donna
