Welcome to Into the Wool, hand knitting patterns by Sarah Solomon. I am a knitwear designer, writer and teacher based in New York City. With a background in woven construction and dressmaking, I bring a love of details and fine finishing to my hand knitting designs and I enjoy creating and teaching techniques that are simple to master but yield beautiful, long-lasting results. My interests range from all aspects of traditional hand knitting to re-imagining ready-to-wear and machine-knit details for hand knitters.
My patterns and articles have appeared in Interweave Knits, Knitscene, knit.wear, Pom Pom Quarterly, Vogue Knitting, and Amirisu, and in collections by yarn companies large and small. In addition to my self-published work, I have also worked as part of the editorial team of Vogue Knitting Magazine and as Director of Knitwear Design for Harrisville Designs, a historic woolen mill in Harrisville, NH.
In my design work, I enjoy creating garments and accessories from exceptional yarns that are knittable, wearable and designed to last. I am is also an avid sewer and spinner and Ilove handwork in many forms.
