About me
Experimenting with yarns, mixing colors and textures in unusual ways is my thing. I love clever constructions, fun new techniques and playing with colors. I try to spread energy and joy with my designs, demonstrating that knitting can be absolutely cool! At the same time, my instructions are very detailed and always contain photo tutorial or link to videos enabling knitters (even not advanced) to try new techniques and venturing beyond their limits, when needed.
More about me:
Most or all of my patterns have the following inclusivity features:
- Size inclusive and/or size-independent
- Charted and written instructions
- Languages other than English
