About the designer: Mesha McMullen
I learned to knit in 2014 and quickly fell in love with the craft. Before long I was challenging myself with bigger and more intricate projects and soon after that I began designing!
Knitting is my passion.
When I’m not knitting I’m wrangling my children, Mason and Marie (ages 5 and 3).
