Create with Me

The Maker lifestyle

Hi, I'm Amanda...

I can’t help but create. Inspiration is everywhere—from the hobbies I love, to the people in my life, to even just a fleeting moment in the world around me. I’ve been knitting and photographing for most of my life, but my curiosity has driven me to explore a wide variety of other crafts. My ideas never stick to one medium; I thrive on following those sparks of inspiration to try new things and learn new skills.

But my favorite part of the creative process? Sharing it. Whether it’s a new pattern, a handmade project, or a photo that captures a little everyday beauty, I love inspiring others to make, explore, and find joy in their own creativity.

I design knitting patterns that help you show off unique interests and style, make something meaningful, and feel proud of what you create. My designs are approachable, relaxing to knit, and inspired by big adventures and everyday life.

Whether you’re picking up your project after a long day or finding a few quiet minutes between adventures, I want you to feel confident, inspired, and connected to your craft.

Let’s make something that feels like you. 🧶✨
