I am a real “Berliner”, I was born and grew up in the City of Berlin (West) and remember those days when Berlin was surrounded by The Wall very well. I still live in Berlin with my husband, son and daughter. At the age of seven I learned how to crochet from my grandma and how to knit from my mum just a few years later – and never stopped knitting since then. During my years as a student I started making money with my hobby, knitting samples for yarn Stores and Designers.
In 2007 I became a Ravelry member - and my knitting life changed completely.
In 2010/11 I added my first four knitting patterns to Ravelry, followed by another four patterns in 2014 which are part of our wonderful eBook “Berlin - wrapped in red”, a collaboration between Steffi aka Merliane and me (owners of Yarn over Berlin) and our dear friends kimberlolly, himawari and missmcnastie.
I am in love with huge shawls, especially Fair Isle Shawls and published a few so far - there are many more to come …

Please visit and join the Yarn over Berlin Ravelry group for my testknits and infos on upcoming designs.

Hope you like my patterns - happy knitting !
