ABOUT ME

I'm a 21 year old knitter, fibre artist, and general maker of things from Vancouver, Canada. I've been travelling around scotland since January, helpx-ing on sheep farms and travelling around in between. I'm making my way to the rest of Europe in June to continue my woolly adventure. I'm super passionate about textiles and ways to reclaim our connection to what we wear and use, social justice and feminism, youth liberation, dance and a whole whack of other things as well. I'm always happy to share my interests with people and especially happy to learn about theirs!
