Hi, I’m Tif!

I’m a knitwear designer - formerly Interior Designer - based in New England. I live in CT with my husband, two daughters and two labrador fur-babies :) and when I am not knitting, I am most often horseback riding.

I come from an Interior Design background… studied Interior Design in college (Bachelor of Science from Drexel) and although designing Interior spaces is notably different from apparel design, there are also so many similarities! I think that my approach to knitwear design mimics how I also approach designing an interior space in regard to distribution of color / pattern / texture.

I love the visual interest from textural stitch patterns (such as herringbone - my favorite) and enjoy intermixing those details with something simplistic, to balance the visual.
I strive to design patterns that can keep the knitter engaged from start to end, without necessarily being difficult.

My favorite colors are grey and green, but I also really love pinks, yellows and dark blue.
