About

This archive exists because I was tired of digging through hundreds of patterns and still coming up empty. Knitting became a lifeline when I got sick — something creative, grounding, and healing. But over time, it also became frustrating. Everything I made looked great on the pattern page, but didn’t feel good on me. I was making what was most visible and most popular, not what actually suited my body or identity.

I spent hours trawling Ravelry, Etsy, and designer sites hoping to find real unisex designs — pieces that weren’t just marketed that way, but felt that way when worn. It wasn’t until I found designers like Lydia Morrow that something clicked. I could make things that felt good — it just meant seeking out the right patterns.

As a lover of 70s design, I’ve always had a soft spot for vintage as well. There’s something inherently queer about many of those older patterns — even the ones labeled “men’s.” I started adapting them to suit my shape and style, and something shifted. I finally saw myself in what I was making.

I live with my partner and our dog in a city that was once at the heart of the global wool industry. These days, we knit from the couch, doing our part to keep that history alive in our own way.

To anyone who’s felt that same disconnect when knitting, I. hope there is something here that can make you feel good too.

Made with love,
