Artist's statement

Can you believe that all knitting is constructed of only two stitches: knit and purl? Sure, you throw in some yarn overs, and sometimes you knit the stitches out of order, but when it really comes down to it, knitting is simplicity. The most incredible gossamer lace shawl ... the trickiest aran ... a humble hat ... each just made with knit and purl.
