Knitting With Chopsticks (Hortense Maskens)

Designer's Profile Photo

My mom taught me to knit, one summer when I was bored on the beach at age 10. From there my love (some would say obsession) of yarn was born and I never stopped stitching.

A few years ago I started to dig into the online world of yarn and discovered so many techniques, constructions and concepts I had never heard about before. Slowly I started to move away from following patterns until 2018 when I finally launched my blog Knitting with Chopsticks where I share my easy knitting & crochet patterns for garments, cozy blankets and cherished little makes.

My goal is to break down knitting and crochet so they become simple enough for you to create exactly what you want, the way you want it through my patterns, blog, ebooks, courses, the Stitching Squad and summits.
