About Me

While my needles are making rhythmic movement, my mind slips into an escape where I can get lost in my little wonderland for hours. I am single hearted by nature. I am not good at multi-tasking and like to work on one project at a time, just as I prefer being with one close friend rather than a group of friends. In my creative state, I am 100% perfectionist. I don’t compromise but make many attempts of trials and unraveling until I perfectly execute the design. I first start by creating from my imagination that I draw in my sketchbook. However, rarely does my finished work turn out exactly what I initially envisioned. I let my handicrafts unfold gradually which involves a lot of fiddling around until my creation reaches the ideal shape. During the process, I become the self-proclaimed alchemist who transforms chaos into beautifully aligned stitches. While allowing my mind to flow in harmony with my busy hands, I find the Knitter’s High. This is where magic happens and all my works are produced. ​
