Knitwear Designer
About:
I design knitwear patterns that are fit focused, elegant, and sometimes trendy (when the trend feels like me).
I am also interested in expanding to teaching some knitting related topics (though not knitting skills) related to finding one's style and translating that into knitting pattern selection. Still very early on for that but there's a lot of my own journey that I would love to be able to share for the benefit of others.
My ideal customer:
I like to say my idea knitter is looking for patterns that are 10-20% spicy - meaning she wants to learn a new skill or have a bit of the work be more interesting, but the majority of the make is relaxing and results in a garment / accessory that becomes an extension of her.
