One of the best part of being a designer is seeing YOU knitting the patterns I designed. Here are a few example to inspire you the next time you’ll be in search of a sock pattern.

I come from a family of crafters and learned to embroider at a very early age. It developed my love for thread, fabric, and yarn which has not left me since. During my university years, I spent hours on Paris public transportation every day, allowing me to rediscover the joy of knitting. I soon started designing my own patterns to play and experiment with colors and textures. I focus on original but simple patterns with a wow factor, as I believe every knitter can tackle any technique, if it’s properly explained. That's why I'm also a knitting teacher, helping knitters to conquer advanced techniques without headaches. If you're looking for me, I can be found on this blog, writing new articles or patterns, on Instagram, or hiding unexpected new additions to her stash in her secret closet.

I loved every stitch of it! From the first one to the last one, this little Maeve shrug has been really refreshing and re-energizing.

The undeniable advantage to create your clothes is that they can fit perfectly your needs and your life. Now I’m facing a big hard question: what to do about all the other ones (the too old, worn out, faded ones) ?

I really enjoyed knitting the Dotted Rays shawl created by Stephen West and the result is even better than I envisioned it would be. It’s a HUGE warm light comfy sunny shawl which would fit perfectly in my handmade wardrobe. Love, love, love it!

As soon as I decided to start my handmade capsule wardrobe experiment, I knew I needed to get clear on what I want to sew/knit before diving right into it. So I needed to create a Pinterest board. I’m a visual type kind of girl, so I need to write and plan everything. Sometimes it’s a bit exhausting, and sometimes it’s very useful. Like it turned out to be in this case.

Knowing me you could have guessed from another galaxy: my most useful tools as a designer are my knitting notebook and good pens. Not knitting needles, they come second. Why? Because without a way to put my ideas on paper and keep them safe, I would not have anything to knit! It’s as simple as that!

You may have heard me talked about creating a Handmade Capsule Wardrobe before if you subscribe to my email newsletter or to my Patreon page. This idea started to sprout in my mind a couple of months ago after looking at my closet and assessing what I wear and what stays on the shelves all year long, I decided I needed to take action.
It takes a village to raise a child, but the saying could also apply to pattern writing. Publishing a new knitting pattern involves a lot of steps and usually a lot of people.
