As a freelance copy editor and transcriptionist (and a student again as well!), I happily work for myself from home, which generally allows me to knit and craft and create when the mood strikes. Sometimes I cook, sometimes I get on my pottery wheel or work on other projects, but mostly I knit or crochet. For me, knitting and crocheting has evolved from a hobby to an all-consuming passion (some would say obsession). Inspiration for my designs is drawn from all over the place, including past travels -- from Turkey to Kyrgyzstan and many places in between. I dream about wool during the long Canadian winters, often waking from my sleep with visions of knittin’s dancing in my head. Things I never leave home without: Chris (my handsome traveling companion), a knitting project, trusty e-reader, and a picture of my slightly obese cat, Ivan.
