What do I wear the most right now from my own designs? Right now, these four pieces feel especially close to my heart, even in real life. Each one carries its own mood and rhythm, but together they reflect so much of what I love about knitting: texture, thoughtful construction, and that gentle balance between comfort and beauty.

The start of the new year and the month of January always get me thinking about beginnings. I keep returning to the image of a white, empty page: a gentle nudge to start fresh or to keep going, to take stock and consider the possibility of new choices. Naturally, my thoughts drift toward new projects, new designs, and new ideas. And if you know me at all, you know that I’m a master of casting on new things and just as easily I can abandon them and move on to something else.

There’s a new pattern to start the year! Noël Scarf is generous without feeling bulky, elegant yet easy to wear. It wraps comfortably for cold winter walks and drapes beautifully indoors, making it just as suited for everyday layering as it is for special occasions.

Gingerbread Sweater is my new favourite Christmas sweater — the kind that feels just as much a part of the season as twinkling lights, paper stars, and carefully iced biscuits cooling on the kitchen counter. It’s inspired by the joy of decorating gingerbread: delicate frosting lines, soft curves, and that feeling of taking your time with something small and special.

There’s something quietly comforting about a balaclava. It’s both practical and a little bit whimsical (and sometimes funny); it feels like wrapping yourself in softness from the very first hint of winter. Seeing the balaclavas take the stage of winter accessories in past maybe 5 years, I have really tried and tried to make my own perfect version.

I’m so happy to share my newest design with you: The Geraldine Scarf! It is everything I love in a layering piece: cozy, lightweight, and endlessly versatile. Knit with a touch of mohair, it has a soft halo that makes it irresistibly warm without being heavy.

Usva truly celebrates the kind of knitting I return to time and time again—textures that soothe, shapes that wrap and comfort, and yarn that brings it all to life. The shawl was originally designed for Laine Magazine’s Finnish Knits special volume.

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to cast on something new—whether it’s breezy tops for warm days, cozy knits for cool evenings, or a fresh project for your holiday knitting bag. To celebrate the season, I’m offering 20% off all pattern orders over 10€ from now through June 22nd.

I’m thrilled to invite you to a Spring Socks KAL (a Knit-Along, if you’re new to the knitting lingo!) featuring any of my sock patterns. Whether you’ve knit them before or are casting on for the first time, this is your chance to join a cozy community of fellow sock knitters. We’ll share our progress, tips, favourite yarns, heel preferences, colour combos, and all the sock knitting joy.

Sometimes a design begins with a texture or a colour. Sometimes with a feeling. The Fern Socks started with the image of something growing—soft and slow, unfurling stitch by stitch like a fern from the forest floor.
