More about me

Hi, I’m Anaïs! I’m a French-American knitting enthusiast who grew up in Germany and now calls Amsterdam home. My multicultural background has shaped my love for learning and creativity, which I bring to both my knitting projects and my work as a tech editor.

My yarn journey began in 2021 when I picked up a crochet hook and fell in love with the endless possibilities of crafting. In 2023, my curiosity led me to knitting, where I uncovered a new world of techniques and challenges to explore. With a lifelong passion for the precision and logic of math, tech editing became a natural way for me to combine my skills and interests.

I’m a certified tech editor through the TKGA Tech Editor Certification Course. With a solid foundation in knitwear construction, pattern writing, and tech editing, I’m passionate about helping designers create patterns that are clear, consistent, and error-free.

When I’m not knitting or working on patterns, you’ll probably find me exploring Amsterdam, doing yoga, or dreaming up my next creative project. Whether you’re a designer looking for a tech editor or a fellow knitter with a passion for crafting, I’d love to connect!

I finished my holiday wip, the #airtee by @ozetta 🥰 I knitted it on 3mm needles, so it took a while, but I had a lot of fun. I want to make more knitted tees in a similar gauge! Yarn: @mominokiyarn ramie silk in the color rikyu #knitting #knitting
