My current passion is in knitting and working with fiber, wool, silk, cotton, rayon and some man made fibers. I knit, crochet, weave and invent new ways to manipulate the pieces I work on. Color texture and shape are my main focus to accomplish the final outcome. Working with fiber either knitting every little stitch or making felt each process is time consuming and takes a lot of patience planning problem solving and imagination, some projects take months to finish. And I will confess some projects are never finished they either become something else or get ripped out and I start over.

When I'm happy with how a piece is developing it seems to give me more energy to finish. I sometimes have no idea what the project is going to be when I start, I let the material dictate the direction to go wether it will be a sweater or a felted bag. Most of the time I do not use patterns I focus on shapes. There are no rules "I live outside the box" I simply create my vision and the fiber dictates the style. Knitting and weaving with color is the language and “avenue of my artistic expression” I affectionately call this "Gypsy Knitting"

Fiber Art is my way to “think things out”  like a form of meditation. *Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the phrase “in the Zone” or in the “flow”, when working on my art I am in the Zone, time simply disappears.

I've been writing a blog for a about 3 years and many of my project notes and opinions about things are posted here. I post when I feel like it there are no rules to this either.

*Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is noted for his work in the study of happiness, creativity, subjective well-being, and fun, but is best known as the architect of the notion of flow and for his years of research and writing on the topic.
