When i started designing knitting patterns, I wanted them to have unique names.
Names different than “easy knitted beanie” or “textured dishcloth”.
I researched how other designers were naming their patterns. People’s names, especially girl names seem to be the most popular choice.
After brainstorming and rejecting quite a few ideas, I finally decided to name Knit So Easy patterns after where I live.
I live in one of the most beautiful places!
In North Carolina, in the foothills of Blue Ridge section of the Appalachian Mountains.
North Carolina is one of the original thirteen colonies so has been around for a long time. Many of the names came from local Indian tribes and from the array of settlers, who came here.
Talk about some unique names!
I began naming Knit So Easy patterns after places in Caldwell County, where I was born, but soon had to add Catawba County, where I now live.
Is is my goal to design so many patterns for you that I have to branch out to the whole state!
