portfolio

this space is to show off some of my work with needles and hooks. i love to knit and crochet, and i own virtually none of my own work. i do have lots of pictures, though, and would like to share some with you. some of these things are just one-offs that i think are neat, some are retired patterns, special orders, or just playing around. have fun looking.

evolution

here is a collection of rattles whose designs have been updated, or they were made with a different yarn. these are from the beginning of the django mango, and they are here to show off the versatility of the patterns, as well as the evolution of the designs.

the octopus variations

when i created my first octopus, it was the beginning of django mango. since then i’ve done them in many colours and materials, to the point where it’s possibly become my signature rattle. i thought i would show off their versatility. some of these are still available, but many of them are made with non-organic yarns, so they are no longer part of the line.
