I’m very much a product knitter, and I confess that I knit most everything for myself. My pattern-writing goal is to make “stand-by” pieces -- those knits you reach for again and again because they are fun to make, lovely to look at, and easy to wear. My favorite knitting technique is cables -- cables make everything better. :)

I have a group at Katinka Designs, and I’m “@katinkadesigns” on Instagram.

YARN SUBS -- I am always willing to advise on your yarn choices for my designs - feel free to ask!

SIZING NOTE -- If you’d like to knit one of my patterns but are unsure if the given size(s) will accommodate you, please get in touch! I’m happy to consult and help find a way to make the pattern work for you.

GENERAL GAUGE NOTE ON MY PATTERNS -- I tend to knit fairly tightly. For this reason, all of my patterns call for a needle one size smaller than what I used myself. As with any pattern, please swatch and take into account your usual tension when choosing your needle size.

YARN SHOPS AND DYERS -- If you are interested in a pattern for a shop or show sample, I would be happy to send you a copy -- just ask!
