My Journey With SheKnitsForFun

In 2023, I rediscovered knitting and quickly realized that it was much more than a cozy autumn and winter hobby. Knitting became a calming, therapeutic process—and eventually, a permanent part of my life.

Before that, I spent over eight years running my own leather design business. As a professional leather designer, I created handmade leather bags and accessories in an open workshop and sold my work to customers all over the world. Craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and working with my hands have always been at the heart of what I do.

During a period of transition, I explored web development and web design and worked in the digital field for a few years. While I enjoyed learning new skills, I eventually realized that the profession I had been drawn to for many years was still calling me—teaching.

Now I am a teacher at school and, by evenings, a knitter.

Knitting naturally brought everything together. It became not only a creative and mindful practice but also a way to share knowledge, techniques, and inspiration with others. As a teacher at heart, I felt a strong need to create a space where I could document my knitting projects and guide others on their own creative journeys.
