Nissa Gadbois

I’m the mother of nine (soon to be eleven), and I live on a beautiful farm in central Massachusetts where we raise goats, sheep, fowl, bees, and heirloom vegetables. My designs are inspired by my Catholic faith, our family’s combined ethnic heritage, books, music, art, and travel.

I am currently working on several new designs, and taking up some old ones I had laid aside, for everyone in the family from newborns to adults. Additionally, I rescue old patterns and rework them for modern knitters and crocheters, and yarns, sometimes changing the construction technique from flat-worked pieces to pieces worked in-the-round to more sweetly stretch, and because I despise finishing.

I hope that people will find my offerings enjoyable.
