Announcement TURTLEFAT COLLECTION handknits are my original designs, knit or crocheted in natural plant or animal fibers. I knit by reading the fiber, creating the thing it most wants to be. Every piece is one of a kind. I love whimsical details.

I love this fun little red felted purse! It's so well-made and so cute! Essie's work is wonderful and her yarn choices are lovely. I purchased this adorable little purse at the same time as I purchased three pairs of fingerless gloves - every item is beautiful and so well-crafted; the yarn is high quality and beautiful! I purchased most of these items as gifts, but I'm having trouble deciding which to give and which to keep - I want them all! :)

This pair of fingerless gloves is beautiful! The yarn and the work are both beautiful and the photo, while good, does not do the product justice. I was so happy to find these and have marked this shop as a favorite. The shipping was speedy and the packaging attractive. The personal note was a lovely touch! I'm looking forward to more purchases from Essie!

This was a Christmas gift for my father, who loathes ties - EXCEPT knit ties. He reports that not only does he love this one, but that he gets complimented on it every time he wears it; Thanks!

Beautiful Hand-Knits in Natural Fibers

A dozen years of systemic lupus led to my early retirement from Internal Medicine practice. I turned to crafting to pass the time, and fell in love with the needlecrafts from my childhood-knit and crochet.
Knitting daily made me excited to learn more, so I read extensively and watched videos, studying fiber history, construction, design processes... I loved the new techniques and fibers I was exploring, and put them to work in products that I designed myself.
Now I design things that I love and offer them for sale. I share knowledge about the ecology of needlework-the natural fibers I use, the sustainability of my products-along with the joy of using them.
In my shop you may find items made from soy, bamboo or corn fiber, angora, cashmere, alpaca and wool, and many other beautiful yarns. I prefer not to use acrylic and polyester, imports from nations that use underpaid labor, and products that result from cruel treatment of animals.

When I retired early from medicine due to long-standing lupus, I let my inner knitter take over. The result is my two Etsy stores and my membership at the Chattanooga Public Market. I love natural fiber and environmentally sound practices.
