HI! I'M CASSONDRA
​I am a Detroit based knitwear designer and instructor. Like many knitters, I was introduced to the fiber arts as a child by my grandmother, and became hooked from the very beginning. Knitting and crochet have been a constant companion and creative outlet for me, as well as a way to center myself and relieve anxiety. My design philosophy is organic; I do my best work when I allow the pattern to unfold as I knit. My education background is in Fine Arts, so I approach each new design like an art project. I select my fibers and color palette, compose and construct the piece, then tie it all together with photography and graphic design. I am passionate about sharing my love of knitting in a way that is accessible to knitters of all levels. Process photos and video tutorials come standard in my patterns to give beginners the tools they need to knit bravely. I have a hunger for new techniques and I am forever evolving as an instructor and designer.
