Knit & Crochet
Handmade designs created to inspire creativity, confidence, and joy.
Welcome!
For more than twenty years, I’ve been designing knit and crochet patterns, teaching techniques, writing books, filming tutorials, and helping makers around the world create beautiful handmade projects.
Whether you’re just learning your first stitches or you’re an experienced maker looking for your next project, you’ll find patterns, videos, charts, and inspiration designed to help you create with confidence.
I believe handmade projects should be beautiful, approachable, and enjoyable from the very first stitch to the last.
