MadelineTosh
Studio Designer
I was featured as MT studio designer of the month (February 2022) with the design Colorful Scales Cowl.
The fun cowl is a testament to the miracles of modular knitting. 27 garter-stitch triangles connect to create the illusion of scales. No seaming. No purling!
Made with 1 skein MadelineTosh Twist Light in color Piñata Pop.

Cozy Winter Makes
Pattern Guide
In September of 2021, I joined the Design Circle, a community of knit/crochet pattern designers, organized by Jessica Brist (@snickerdoodleknits). And as our first community project, we created Cozy Winter Makes Pattern Guide. 10 designers presented their designs in one brochure, and knitters/crocheters were able to meet new designers, participate together in a make-a-long and a fun scavenger hunt.
Participated designers:

Trunk Show
In the summer of 2021, four local designers presented several of their designs at local yarn shops. The shops displayed our samples and we met customers and talked about our designs, designing process, and ideas.
Cheers to Ewe! shop invited us also to chat during livestream youtube show Create.Talk.Explore. We did 2 episodes, in July, and in November.

A local yarnbombing community project, that I annually participated in since 2018.
