“I drew inspiration for my signature line from
the motif that has remained my favorite for over 25
years. I just love the way it makes me feel, and I
knew I had to personalize my first line of needles
with the glamour and fun of the eternally fashionable
leopard print. To top off the funky look, I paired
the tawny browns and black with a slammin’ gold
finial, carefully antiqued to appear a little distressed.
How very chic.
My signature line had to be perfect.
I’m a perfectionist
and I couldn’t stand the way painted wooden needles
snagged my yarn when I knitted with them. With Addis
as my inspiration, I researched obsessively for over
a year to find a protocol for achieving a glass-smooth
finish on birch, and found it! My needles aren’t
turbo, but they’re close. And,
presentation is so important to me. I love the way
the black marabou boa looks. The
combination of
old Hollywood glamour with the kitsch of leopard print
is too cool.
My
Signature Leopard Line will always be available to
crafters, with needles in sizes 8, 10, 10.5, 11,
13, 15, 17, and 19, crochet hooks
in sizes H, J, K, L, and M, and unique shawl
pins. My
shawl pins provide crafters
with a fashionable accessory to wear with their
handiwork. The newest addition to the Signature line,
my drop spindles, are hand made from sustainable
American hardwood just like all the other products
in my line. They're just one more way to express
your unique style while enjoying your favorite pastime.
I
hope the creative expression of my soul brings you
joy.”
