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.

Imagine your knitting reacting to warmth and the stitches shaping themselves. Sounds like science fiction? In fact, there are so-called shape-memory polymers – synthetic fibers that "remember" a programmed shape and return to it when exposed to heat. Also known as shape-memory yarns, they open fascinating opportunities for smart textiles.
Loved or laughed at – the Ugly Christmas Sweater has become just as much a part of the holidays as fairy lights and cookies. With quirky motifs, bright colors, and plenty of humor, it has turned from a fashion faux pas into a true cult favorite.
It's a knitter's nightmare: your project is growing, the fabric looks beautiful – and suddenly the yarn ball is shrinking faster than expected. "Oh no, I'm going to run out of yarn!" Don't panic – with the right tricks you can save your project, adjust smartly, or even turn it into something more creative.
