Arrived quickly, couldn't be happier with it. I knit Portuguese style & use it almost every day, it's a massive sensory improvement over having the yarn around my neck. Aside from the practical use it's just a genuinely beautiful item. Thank you!

Really nice ring/cable needle! Fits my ring finger just right and doesn’t seem to snag at all when knitting. Highly recommend!

My second purchase of this item, since I lost the first. It's cute as an accessory, useful as a craft tool, and satisfactory as a fidget. My main sell is: when I'm cozing with a cat & knitting, this ring is Way Easier than a cable needle. 10/10

This is a beautiful pin! I've worn it once so far and gotten lots of compliments on it. It stays very securely holding my sweater closed, which is why I picked this one. Came packed in a cute little bag. Wonderful experience!

How I went from poor student to good teacher.

I was not happy in a normal school setting. Long before all those learning labels came to be I just knew I felt trapped in a standard classroom. And I resented my creativity. Now I feel it is the best gift I have been given. In teaching I am careful to be a cheerleader for the more creatively timid while staying out of the way of those who take the ball and run!
After more than forty years of making and selling I have now closed my studio to the public (except by appointment) to make space to experiment and play in new directions. This time around I am able to be less self judgmental and more trusting of the process. I am both grateful and excited to have this opportunity. Etsy gives me the platform to share the results world wide.

I have crocheted and knitted since my teens and started jewelry making right after leaving my freshman year of college. Putting all my favorite things together, I now make clasps and closures for knitters, crocheters and weavers and teach workshops for those who like to make their own. I come from the perspective of keeping the workshops simple in tool requirements. The student is also free to experiment and make a shawl pin, tea stirrer, ornament, etc.
