About Me:: I've lived in the Sacramento area all of my life. I work as a sign language Interpreter at a middle school. I began in earnest to knit again in 2001, after my dad, father-in-law, and cousin died within a 2 month period. Knitting helped me "keep my sanity" and reminded me how much fun it was! I've been doing it since. Can't seem to put those needles down!
My family, husband, sons, "pretend granddaughter, and aunts, friends and the cancer center have all been recipients of various shawls, afghans, capelets, chemo hats, gloves, purses, and socks on many occasions.

All hats in my album have been donated to the UC Davis Medical Cancer Center. Most of the baby sweaters were donated to UMCOR, which is a wonderful group of women who donate their time and craftiness to make packages to be shipped to countries in need.
