it all started in my college dorm my freshman year. sitting on the tiny twin bed, laptop propped open and needles in hand. I didn’t know a thing about designing a sweater and was too stubborn to follow a pattern, so I went for it. the sleeves were too long and the stitches were twisted but I was happy with the outcome.

I continued making and figuring out patterns, eventually understanding shaping and designing a garment. I also took an introductory hand knitting class that vastly improved my skills.
