I started knitting as a young girl inspired by my mother's adventures with fiber and paints. I was truly amazed that with two needles (or one) and a piece of string one could create an article of clothing. Function creating form as its finest. I was constantly challenged to maintain a consistent number of stitches which resulted in many creative and odd shapes! I continued to knit and crochet off and on throughout my years. I took it up again while in graduate school as a way to maintain my focus during class. I soon was teaching other students, to the dismay of the faculty, and found myself the shared owner of sheep! Although I always admired the classic knitters, those warm little sweaters!...I soon was made aware that this was not the relationship with knitting/crocheting that would follow. I must admit I continue to drawn to a pattern or two! However quickly find myself taking detours! So I have learned to follow my instincts and am most content improvising. Watching the fiber move in, out, and around the needles creating relationships between color, direction, texture, and shape. Very similar to my other creative endeavor that of a movement artist.
