SLOW CRAFT, MADE TO LAST A LIFETIME
Modern hand knitting patterns inspired by the landscapes of the west
Clear instructions for every body
Every stitch written out. No guesswork. No "at the same time" instructions you can't keep track of without a notebook and pen. Just clear, size-inclusive patterns to guide you in creating garments you truly love—pieces you'll reach for again and again. Designed for all makers.
I believe slow crafts matter more than ever in a world that often feels chaotic and unjust. Knitting gives us a way to hold complicated emotions—grief and defiance, softness and resistance—and to turn them into something tangible, stitch by stitch. It's also deeply about community: a reminder that creativity is participation, that small acts add up, and that joy and conviction can—and should—coexist.
Designs rooted in slow craft
Each of my patterns is written the same way—every stitch spelled out in a full range of sizes. Whether you're casting on a quick gift or planning your next heirloom sweater, there's something here for you.
Kind words
This is the first time I’ve been able to approach a colorwork yoke without having to compromise on the body size or to rework the sleeve design in order to accommodate my arms. I cannot begin to explain how much that means to me…I’ve already been hyping the inclusivity of this design because it’s such a profound relief to be able to approach garment knitting thinking about my body’s pleasure over my body as a problem to solve.
