It's not just about knitting...

....but a way of life full of hand knit shawls, scarves,
cowls, beautiful hand-stitched rosettes, antique buttons and silks.

Shawls

“Here you go,” he said wrapping a shawl around her shoulders. A cool breeze blew as she watched the leaves rustle around the base of the old oaks. She felt the warmth of her merino wool shawl around her shoulders and was glad she was warm. “You always have such perfect timing,” she said with a smile.

Vests 

"​Here I come," she said as she grabbed her vest from the banister and headed out the door.
"Wow, that’s nice!"
"I know, I love it! And the mix of materials is great, wool, ribbon, silk, crushed velvet. It’s perfect with everything!"
"Well, let's go, those art galleries are calling!"

Scarves & Cowls

"A mix of alpaca and wool will do the trick," she thought as she knit a cowl to keep him warm. It’s the perfect accessory while it’s cold outside. And the comfort of a hand knit item will also keep you warm...even during those long nights on watch at sea. Come take a look, I have one for you too! 

Hats

"You’ve gotta have a hat," she said. "It’s an essential part to living in the City!"
​And the best material for a hat? Wool! Warm, soft, light weight, wool. But I don’t discriminate, I love them all! I have one for every day of the week! You should too!

​Embellishments

"What’s this?" she asked pointing to a little box with a burlap ribbon on the seat beside him.
"Oh just a little something for you."
Excited, she picked up the box, and carefully untied the burlap ribbon. "I found this rosette in a little gallery and though of you instantly. I loved the mix of silks used to create it."
"And the button," she said. "I love that button!"

My story

My Grandmother, Josefina Davalos, taught me how to knit when I was little. I would lie on her couch, with knitting needles in hand and “tie knots” as my husband now calls it. “Patience, mi hija, patience” she would say in her strong Mexican accent.
Little by little, I learned patience, along with the art of color, patterns, and textures. For me, my art captures those moments in life where we pause and watch a leaf float across the sky on a windy day seeing browns, greens and white, or when the water laps against the shore glistening blues, silvers, and blacks. Color, patterns and texture are everywhere and nature is my greatest inspiration.
