About

Knitting meHi, I am Mel!
I am here to share my passion for knitting. It is calming me down – and as a former computer scientist, knitting is to me like an algorithm that I can touch. I am and always have been artistic. Therefore, it was only a matter of time till I started experimenting with dyeing, spinning, and designing my own pattern. I learned a lot by browsing the world wide web and knitting other designers pattern. This page is my way to hopefully inspire the next generation of knitters.
