Christelle Nihoul
I am a knitting pattern designer born in Belgium but touching everything would perhaps be fairer. As long as I can remember, I create with my hands. I learned to knit, crochet, make bread and draw patterns in my grandmother’s workshop. With those few skills, I created my first boss at the age of 15—a long sweater with a sea of jersey and ribs in twists, and then came the time when I put my needles away, to go to university where I started nursing. Like many of you, I graduated, I started working, I got married, I had children and I went back to school, and soon after the birth of my last daughter, I realized that this rhythm no longer suited me and I decided to start a new adventure. That’s when I left a full-time job in health care to spend all my time creating bosses. With the help of my husband, an experienced photographer and my three wonderful models, I founded a small company based on our combined passion for photography and design.Finding inspiration in colors, in “haute couture”, fashion, nature, architecture (and much more), I now devote my days to publishing patterns and ebooks for discerning knitters who love fashion.

I’ve always seen my mom knitting and it’s from her that I learned the basics of knitting.
After a while without touching a needle, I started knitting again when my first child arrived, then I discovered, thanks to the internet and Ravelry, the multiple possibilities of making knitting more pleasant. I like to play with geometry, textured stitches and colors to create modern models, pleasant to knit and easy to wear. I want to share the well-being that brings a moment in the company of its needles by offering contemporary and well explained models.

Her functional fashion accessories fuse her distinctive style with fine design techniques which ensure they are unique. She cannot remember a time before fibre, a time when yarn did not feature in her life.
