Welcome to the weekend. Simple, modern knits you can live in on the weekend; knits you can create in a weekend. This collection brings wearability and simplicity together in a way that will appeal to brand-new and experienced knitters alike.

Knitting something warm to wear during a frigid Midwestern winter brings things back to basics for me. It slows me down and I like that. This collection of sweaters and accessories exudes comfort and ease. My mission is to create casual, contemporary, wearable knits that will serve as foundation pieces in anyone’s wardrobe. Approachable patterns that aren’t too complex, making knitters everywhere say, “I want to make that … and I can make it this weekend.”

I’m a minimalist at heart and I truly believe less is more and simple is good. To me, simple equals wearable. Simple equals doable. And there’s no greater satisfaction than finishing a hand-knit piece, trying it on and falling in love with it. My goal as a knitter is to make go-to pieces that feel just right, like my favorite soft gray pullover from college. If you spend precious time knitting a garment, you want to love it and wear it over and over again. It’s as simple as that. That, to me, is the definition of hand-knit success. And that’s what I hope to share with you in this collection.
