Shanalines Designs

Patterns using: Knitting

About me

I am an architect with experience teaching technical and design studio courses in several higher education venues, combining my experience in geometry and writing design syllabi to my pattern writing style. I strive to make legible directions that allow the knitter to customize their own work in the process. I pay attention to maximizing yardage and adaptability of styling in my work. I love connecting with individuals, helping them to become the best version of themselves.
