About me
Kristin Dale, the designer behind Lakebound Knits, grew up on the shores of Lake Superior. Her pattern designs are inspired by life "Up North" and her close relationship to nature and music. She loves designing accessories with lots of texture, focusing mostly on cables and lace.
Most or all of my patterns have the following inclusivity features:
- Low vision accessible and include a large print version either automatically or on request
- Colour blindness accessible i.e. does not exclusively use colour to convey information
- Charted and written instructions
