About Me

My name is Hunter Hammersen, and I knit tiny nonsense. I live in coastal Maine, where I can often be found poking at seaweed with a bit of driftwood or visiting my favorite mossy tree stump. There is almost certainly a rock in my pocket right this minute. If you ask nicely, I might just show it to you.

I’m fat, I swear a lot, and I have ridiculous hair. And I am unapologetically shouty about political stuff. No really, I’m the scary, dangerous feminist your angry uncle rants about on facebook. Here, check this out…abortions are good and everyone should have access to them, trans people are good and should get the support they need, unions are good and more people should be in them, police are bad and should be defunded, fascists are bad and we should stop electing them, racists are bad and we should stop humoring them, and this pandemic is very much not over.

If you buy my work, I will absolutely use your money to support the causes I believe in.

If any of that stuff up there bugs you, I’m not the person for you. And that’s ok! But if that all sounds good? If I sound like your kind of person? Well, then I think we can have some fun!

Looking for an older pattern?

In the summer of 2022, I realized that managing hundreds patterns was overwhelming, so I took my older patterns down. A tiny handful came back. New patterns are under way. And few favorites may still return. But the vast majority of my earlier patterns are permanently retired.

However…enough folks have asked about some particular favorites that I’m considering occasionally making some of them available for a very limited time (like one weekend a year). If you want to hear if that happens, make sure you’re subscribed to the mailing list or patreon.
