About

Hi there, I’m Julia. I grew up in Germany and moved to the Netherlands in 2001. I have been publishing knitting patterns since 2019, first independently on Ravelry and later in magazines such as Laine, Pom Pom Magazine and Yedra.

I have also started to teach others how they can design their own garments and accessories. You can find my articles on knit design on Substack.
