Hi, I'm Kathrin Parlatan...

In love with wool, crazy about ideas and with a knitting needle in my heart – knitting and crocheting have been part of my life since my childhood. What started as a hobby became my vocation.

Today, I use my love and experience to design modern knitting and crochet instructions that are easy to understand, stylish and simple to follow. I work with high-quality yarns and well-known partners – and share my ideas with a great community.

stricken-im-trend.com stands for creativity, quality and the genuine joy of crafting.
