I am a knitter.
I am a designer of hand-knitting patterns, a teacher, and a lifelong explorer of what yarn and needles can become.
Welcome to Le Tissier Designs, my home for original knitting patterns, creative experiments, and stories from a life spent knitting and teaching on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Over the years, I have designed more than 400 patterns, from approachable everyday accessories to intricate lace, textured knitting, beads, embellishments, and designs inspired by history and traditional craftsmanship.
I believe knitting should offer both the pleasure of learning something new and the satisfaction of making something beautiful. Whether you are beginning your knitting journey or looking for a fresh challenge, I hope you will find something here to inspire you.
I also photograph my beautiful island and the knitting it inspires.
Please join me on my journey.
