My name is Inese Sang. I am a Latvian knitwear designer, and after spending a decade as an interior designer and a translator in Shanghai, I am currently living in Vancouver with my family.

Knitting for me is a visual language of observations. A translation of sorts, if you will. Different from the written word, but maybe not by much.
I find continuous inspiration in nature, urban settings and my Latvian heritage - in that subliminal place in between. Kind of undefined, but familiar at the same time.

My work in guided by the love of slow & intentional design process. I love taking time to swatch and find textures & stitches that bring out the best in the yarn I am working with.
I believe in the beauty of details and bring it into my designs.
I love to explore the correlation between textures, colours and levels of contrasts within my patterns, creating pieces that are engaging to knit and timeless to wear.
My pattern instructions are simple and to the point - focused on clarity and ease, without the added visual noise.

Colour grey has my heart forever, and I am gravitating towards the muted hues that have a bit of gray undertone to them, too.
