Based in the world’s northernmost national capital, Reykjavik, and born in the world’s coldest national capital, Ottawa, Chantal knows a thing or two about dressing for the cold. After years of trial and error she’s figured out the magic formula for keeping warm: a hot bowl of ramen and killer knitwear. Having started knitting at the tender age of “too young to remember,” Chantal is all about to creating knitwear that looks and feels like the 21st century.
I am currently the lead designer at the the Flying Yak.
At The Flying Yak we aim to unleash your inner trend setter by providing you with patterns for high-fashion, high-impact knitwear that is simple to make. We break down inspired looks into accessible patterns that you can produce without having to be a master craftsperson. If you can knit a rectangle and are willing to learn a few additional skills, you too can knit your own couture.
