About Lily

Lily is the person to ask when a project needs to stay small without looking rushed. Her guides cover the whole object, including the hardware: split rings, swivel clips, cord and the reinforcement that stops a charm stretching out of shape.

She works from scrap yarn and modest supplies, and she is precise about finished measurements. A keychain that is comfortable in a pocket is a different design problem from a toy, and her patterns treat it that way.

Working method

Keep it small, keep it sturdy. The guides name the hardware, the yarn amount and the finished size before the first stitch.
