About the Designer: Alicia Plummer
Alicia-Plummer-HeadshotDesigning for me is like writing a novel expressing everything I’m feeling and doing and thinking. Color, lines, fit, can tell a story, and I love seeing how others interpret and knit up my stories.

I’m messy, disorganized, and loving. I design because I wear my heart on my sleeve, and designing is a perfect outlet for self-expression. I’m heavily influenced by the rustic beauty of our old farmhouse and my small town here in rural Maine. I’m thankful for my blessings and try to follow Jesus to the best of my ability. My heart overflows with his love!

My aim is to design things that have the down home comfort of New England but are also everyday items that someone can grab and throw on and still look good.

I have a wonderful group with my dear friend and design partner, Melissa called Plum Dandi. We do giveaways, knit alongs, test calls, and fun threads all the time and I must say we have some of the nicest Ravelers around!

My Ravelry username is AliciaPlum and my website is aliciaplum.com
