I picked up a crochet hook at 7 and was making my own clothes by 15. Friends often asked me to make the exact same pieces—but I showed them how to make their own instead. I studied communications and economics, not knowing life was leading me to become a professional designer in a new country at 42. Decades later, I'm still creating for myself and sharing patterns with friends around the world. Thanks for being here—this journey wouldn’t be the same without you, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
