Eva Mili

I’m Eva Mili, a knitwear designer and life-long knitter from Lithuania. I learnt to knit at art school when I was eight years old, taught by my art teacher, and I’ve had needles in my hands for almost forty years now.

From the very beginning I loved “knitting from my head” - playing with shapes, inventing constructions, and trying out ideas that didn’t always exist in patterns. That curiosity for structure eventually met my second passion: algorithms.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science, and I decided to combine knitting with programming. This is how my current designs were born - patterns that come together with a calculator.

Each design is written to work with the calculator so that your knitting can be adjusted to almost any yarn and almost any size. Instead of changing your gauge or hunting for the “right” yarn, you can knit with the yarn you love and customise the pattern to fit the person who will wear it.

My goal is to create clear, thoughtfully engineered patterns that feel a little bit like a small technical adventure - but with plenty of guidance, so you never have to figure things out alone.
