About me

I like to explore stitches, constructions and techniques. I Iike to design with other people, and will let my models decide on the ease in a garment because then at least one person will have a custom(ish) garment. I like both knitted and crocheted projects. I'm always surprised which of my designs other people want to make, but delighted when I hear from them, because that starts the design wheel spinning again with more collaboration.

More about me:

Most or all of my patterns have the following inclusivity features:

Size inclusive and/or size-independent
Charted and written instructions

How to get in touch with me: email me at christine@christineguestdesigns.com, it may take me up to 24 hours to research your answer if the pattern was published a while ago, and I do try to stay off of the internet on Sundays.
