I taught myself to knit during a break at college, fumbling over the illustrations in a teach-yourself book. A friend taught me to purl, and my obsession blossomed. I soon found myself spending long, dreamy afternoons poring over the stitch dictionary in the back of Vogue Knitting. I developed the telltale designer’s habit of staring fixedly at my friends’ sweaters, muttering “knit, purl, knit, yarn-over, knit.” The more I learned, the more I wanted to know.
I'm fascinated by natural forms, from the tricky spiral patterns of flowers, pinecones and galaxies to the life-forms that walk, wriggle and swim around us. It never ceases to amaze me how string, two sticks, and two simple stitches can be combined in such an astonishing number of ways.
