I’m Carla, a knitwear and graphic designer. I like to create elegantly simple designs that are not too difficult and just might teach you a new technique or stitch pattern as you make it.

My mom taught me to knit when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and for many years we knit happily together. We used to go to the yarn shop and pick out a pattern we both liked, then we would make the same sweater in different colors.

Much later I decided to become a designer and improved my knitting and pattern writing skills by becoming a TKGA certified Master Knitter.

I now use the analytical and technical writing skills that I acquired in a previous life as a clinical research consultant to the pharmaceutical industry to write clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and then I use my graphic design skills to craft a pattern that you will enjoy knitting from. All of my patterns are tech edited for clarity and completeness.

Many of my patterns use only 1 or 2 skeins, allowing you to actually use that gorgeous hand-dyed yarn you couldn’t leave behind but had no idea what to do with once you got it home.
