My Lydia & her Michael married last March at the Rainbow Room in NYC! I knitted a clutch for the festivities. The clutch pattern is here.

about
I learned to knit from my Latvian 🇦🇹 grandmother who emigrated from Riga to the USA in 1916 (photo below). My work can be found in numerous knitting magazines, as well as in seven books including best sellers, Hip Knit Hats (2005), Hattitudes (2009), Short Story (2012), Happy Feet (2014), and Cowlgirls 1 & 2 (2010, 2016).
At the moment, I am using stranded knitting to render letters, words and language as design elements under the logo ‘TICKER KNITS’. However, when time permits, I continue to work on private commissions and for other publications as well.
Alma Brunneck aka ‘Nana’, my grandmother taught me how to knit. She arrived in the USA from Riga, Latvia 🇦🇹 in 1916 at the age of 17. Once stateside, she became a nurse and remained a faithful Lutheran ‘til the end.🌿 Nana also taught my mother about gardening who in time taught me as well.

Do take a look at my newish Substack, The Whirl if you haven’t already. I’ve been posting since last Spring - there are 29 posts now, count’em. I love cartoons so much that I’ve been working with a friend (wink-wink) to come up with a weekly giggle, under the byline ‘Wool-Being’. The first giggle is below 🥸
