Who Created Knitinspire.com and Why – The Story Behind the Knitting Website
🧶 Hello!
My name is Luba, and I’ve been knitting for many years — it’s my passion, my meditation, and my way of expressing myself. I work with:
-
knitting needles,
-
crochet hooks,
-
and a knitting machine.
❓ How It All Started
When starting a new project, I often had many questions:
-
Will I have enough yarn?
-
How can I use a different yarn than the one listed in the pattern?
-
How can I change the neckline, sleeve length, or overall fit?
I searched for answers, experimented, learned how to make calculations and design patterns. Eventually, my finished pieces looked exactly as I imagined.
🌐 Why I Created This Website
I wanted to share my knowledge with others — that’s how this website was born.
It took me several years to develop. I didn’t have a team — not even a small one. I did almost everything myself.
💡 What You’ll Find on the Site
This site is my daily tool:
-
I knit for myself, my children, and my husband;
-
I save all my projects here;
-
I publish free knitting instructions based on my own patterns;
-
I’m always improving the calculation tools.
🔧 What I'm Working On
I’m currently developing a new version of the website. It will be:
-
simpler,
-
more user-friendly,
-
easier to understand.
I also get many requests for seamless designs, and I’m working on that too.
💖 How the Site Is Supported
The site used to be subscription-based,
but for the past two years, it’s been running thanks to your donations.
