"Give life a thousand reasons

to smile about"

Thanks for visiting my page :)

My name is Rufina and I'm a beyond Beanie artisan. My passion for knitting started as a young child. Since I was a little girl, I liked to observe how beanies were made and quickly developed a talent and love for crocheting.

I'm a mother of three children. I have two boys and one girl. I'm currently 56 years old. My health is no longer as good as it used to be. Nevertheless, I do my best to always stay happy and live with my respiratory illnesses and lung pain. I'm very happy that my daughter Julie has also developed an interest in knitting. She is also part of the beyond Beanie artisans’ team.

I hope that my products keep you warm and happy. Thanks for your support.

Rufina
