Highly Detailed Knitted and Felted Patterns
Nature, especially the color combinations. I would never think of them on my own. Never ending choices.

Random Facts About You?I prefer knitting over housework. I am an encouraging person. I love detail. I am a practical person.
What got you started crafting?
I have crafted since I was little. I love working with my hands. It calms me. I have always loved sculpture even though I flunked it in college. I started knitting to make mittens, a practical art form for my children. And fell into designing knit & felt patterns quite by accident.
What is your source of inspiration?
Nature, especially the color combinations. I would never think of them on my own. Never ending choices.
What have you made recently?
My Woolly Matroyshka Dolls pattern is my newest, available September 1, 2012. I love them for how simple they are to knit & felt, but how wonderful they are for embellishing upon such as, embroidery, needle felting, beading, wool applique and more!
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
I sell my patterns and sculptures on Etsy, in my 'That's Woolly Something' shoppe.
Why are handmade crafts important to you?
To encourage the creative spirit in all of us. I am always amazed at other people's creativity and their thought process behind it. So many have encouraged me when I was just getting started, I want to be able to do the same for others.

Hi! where do you find felting needles in milan? I wanted to make something but realized I had no idea where to get the supplies…
Stephanie, I don’t know where you can in Milan, but if you go on Etsy.com you can find lots of felting needles and supplies and they will ship them to you.
