About

Hello! My name is Hannah!

I design and tech edit knitting patterns.

Working with my hands to knit a pair of colorwork socks or 100% wool sweater is a delight to me.

Learning to Knit

When I was 10 years old, I was gifted a knitting kit. The kit contained some worsted weight yarn, wooden knitting needles, a tapestry needle, buttons, and a how-to-book on knitting.

I was patiently guided through the first stitches by my Gram.

It didn’t take long for knitting to “click”, and I’ve enjoyed keeping my hands busy creating garments and accessories with knitting needles and yarn over the last 10 years.
