About

I Didn’t Choose the Knit Life, the Knit Life Chose Me.

“You are the result of the love of thousands.” – Linda Hogan. Think about that for a minute. You exist because of a thousand other people that loved and paved the way for you. So am I. So many little connections that make a big picture. A thousand little strands to make all the glorious knits.

All connected, us, this place that was shaped by the ocean, that shaped me. That’s why so many of my items names are inspired by this place I grew up, and the good-hearted people that surround me. Everything is relative.

So here I am daring again, turning my Knit Life into a hustle. This little Willow and Twig is where I’m planting the seed of a dream and seeing how it grows. Where I get to be my own boss, and it feels good. It feels really good. So here’s to Little Horse Sweaters, and to the warm and fuzzies a knit made with love and care can give! And here’s to me and you, a thousand loves, and a growing dream!
