| After living and knitting in four different countries on two continents, I decided to create a place online for my patterns to stay. Knitting and designing provides me with an enormous creative outlet. I love casting on for a new project, the feel and smell (that wonderful new wool smell!) of the yarn and the possibilities of what the design will look like when finished. I also love the tradition and history of the craft and from reflecting on knitting history it was (in my mind) not a huge jump to wondering about the amount of wool the woolly mammoth could have produced. With that random question fixed firmly in my head, Woolly Mammoth Knits was born.I learned to knit when I was 8, and although my first project ("rug for my doll's house") took several years to complete, I have become a true addict in more recent years. I design my own patterns, many of which can be found on this webpage. The collection includes some free patterns as well. When designing I am usually inspired by my surroundings as much as by the yarn I'm working with, and moving to a new place every few years is a real treat in that respect. Holland, America, Italy and England have all found a place in my knitting, mixing with other design ideas inspired by current as well as vintage fashion. |  |
