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.
