Profile of the knitter behind tinK

I love making things with my hands. I am also a true believer in handmade products.

It was during my first pregnancy when my youthful passion for knitting returned. The love for this amazing craft has grown stronger each day. I knit not only for my sons, but also for family and friends.

I enjoy making each piece and love seeing my creations on people who appreciate handmade products.

Knitting is also my therapy. It relaxes me. And because I am inspired by forms, patterns and colors, ideas for new designs float in my imagination. I am constantly thinking of new designs.

The price per item comprises mostly the material costs. I use almost exclusively cotton yarns. Sometimes with silk, linen content. Perhaps during the cold winter months I will use some wool materials.

So it is obvious that income from the sale of these garments will probably not be enough to support my living but it helps give me more pocket money and allows me to acquire more new yarns. So, whenever one of my products is sold, it is a positive cycle for everyone.

I hope you enjoy what you see and, if you take them home, I wish you all the joy and pride in wearing them!
