Welcome to my website and thank you for the opportunity to show you my knitwear designs!

This site is dedicated to the concept that large is just as lovely as little, and there are many styles here that show off your shape while remaining comfortable and flattering.

Having personally become deliciously ample since my son was born, I can relate to the challenges involved in fitting a body that is very different from the fashion industry norm. I have also faced the challenges that come with hiding the sins while showing off the "good stuff." Happily I have found that it CAN be done.

There has been such a great response to these styles from all shapes and sizes of knitters that I have expanded the size range to include Misses as well as Plus. Check each pattern for it's expanded size range. If you don't see yours available, drop me a line.

I also believe that the knitted items that we work so hard to complete need to become integrated into our wardrobes. To aid in this I'm offering several free basic patterns:

-The skirt pattern can be made in any length and will turn any knit top or jacket into a two-piece dress or suit.
-The tank top with short row shaping for fitting womanly curves.
-Sleeves for converting the tank top into a tee-shirt.
-A lacy shrug pattern just for fun.

Please enjoy these free gifts as my "thank you" to you for shopping my
site.

My goal is to give the knitter (no matter what her size) styles that will fit and flatter her and that she will love and look beautiful in. They should not be just an occasional item to reach for, but wardrobe workhorses.

Step into my studio now, and let the fun begin!
