2005-2015 - I started designing knitting patterns in the early 2000’s started selling them under the brand Chiagu in 2005. I designed and wrote 15+ original knitting patterns during this time and also launched the first-ever “mini skien club,” a monthly subscription for Koigu mini skeins that I hand made and shipped to members.

I built the Chiagu Shopify website in 2012. In 2015, Chiagu was acquired and continues to run under new ownership.
