My name is Cynthia Berrier and I live in Kalispell, Montana.  Kalispell is 30 miles from Glacier Park.  I am married and am a homemaker.  Our one daughter has finished college and now works for the City of Long Beach.  My hobbies include doll collecting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, reading, gardening in the summer, as well as rafting and hiking.

 
I am a member of a local mystery book club that meets every month.  I also belong to a local chapter of the United Federation of Doll Clubs (UFDC).  I am the secretary.  I also volunteer one day a week at our local historical museum.  I do clerical and data entry work.  I really enjoy it.

I took up hand knitting in 2006.  Before that, I knitted using my two knitting machines.  Although I made several sweaters with them, I could not read or write knitted pattern instructions.  I could only chart.  Once I learned hand knitting I was able to read pattern instructions and with the ability to chart patterns, I could design my own patterns, which has become my passion.

I have loved dolls for as long as I can remember.  I even made quite a few porcelain dolls, especially antique reproductions.  I have always enjoyed costuming my dolls.  I find this quite rewarding and enjoyable and hope my knit patterns help you enjoy creating outfits for your dolls!
