About Knit Nature

Solving a problem can have surprising consequences. 

Knit Nature is the unexpected outcome of seeking good quality, practical and modern-looking knitwear for my children. 

Living in New Zealand, where sheep outnumber people by a factor of more than 7 to 1, you might think this wouldn’t be a problem.  However, I found that if I want lots of options for woollen - and potentially, organic - knitwear for my children, hand knitting is probably the only way to get there.  And anyway, I enjoy putting my own creative touches on what they're wearing.

My great-grandmother taught me to knit when I was a child.  At the time, I don’t think I ever progressed past knitting an incomplete scarf full of holes.  More than thirty years later, I started to knit again.   Before long I was surprising myself (not to mention my family and friends) with what I could make. 

I like clothes to fit nicely.  I'm interested in using different to usual construction techniques to achieve an excellent fit and - with my most recent designs - a garment that is seamless (or as close to it as possible!).

I do hope you enjoy knitting my designs, and that they are loved and appreciated by those who wear them.
