☕ That's me
In love with yarn, bursting with ideas, and a knitter at heart.
🫶
And if I'm honest, life would be pretty dull without yarn. 🧶
For over 10 years, I've been creating knitting and crochet patterns that not only look beautiful, but do one thing above all:
👉 They simply work.
Clear instructions, well thought out, and designed to keep you moving—so you can start making right away, not struggling.
🧶 How it all started
I learned my very first stitches from my grandmother.
What began as a simple hobby soon turned into my creative escape—and eventually into something much bigger.
It became such a big part of my life that I even wrote my final thesis on the stress-reducing effects of knitting.
And yes… I really mean that 😄
✨ From hobby to a signature design style
A key turning point was working with a local yarn shop:
Seeing my designs in the shop window—and watching the demand for my patterns grow—changed everything.
Today, I design with high-quality natural fibers like merino, mohair, alpaca, and camel hair, creating pieces that are modern, wearable, and a little bit special.
I've had the opportunity to collaborate with brands like Pro Lana and Belousek—and above all, with so many amazing makers who bring my designs to life.
🐾 A little behind-the-scenes glimpse
I'm rarely working alone, to be honest.
Muki and Emma are almost always part of the process.
Sometimes quietly watching, sometimes acting as very strict quality control—right on top of the yarn.
And honestly?
It just wouldn't be the same without them.
📚 And sometimes, those moments turn into entirely new stories…
Right now, I'm working on a project that's especially close to my heart:
👉 a children's book centered around Muki, Emma, and the world of stitches.
There's still a lot evolving—but you might catch a first glimpse of it here very soon.
