By guest author Barbara Seidenfaden

Hello, fellow knitters and craft enthusiasts!

I am thrilled to introduce myself and share a bit about my passion for knitting and design. My name is Barbara Seidenfaden, and I am a dedicated knitwear designer with a deep love for creating beautiful, cozy, and enchanting pieces. From whimsical children’s cardigans to elegant scarves and everything in between, my designs are crafted to bring warmth and joy to everyone who wears them.

My Knitting Journey

My journey into the world of knitting began at a young age, watching my grandmother deftly maneuver her needles to create intricate patterns. Inspired by her creativity and patience, I picked up my own needles and discovered a lifelong passion. Over the years, I have honed my skills, experimenting with various techniques and materials, and eventually transitioning from a hobbyist to a professional knitwear designer.

Design Philosophy

Every piece I design is infused with a touch of magic and a lot of love. My philosophy centers on creating garments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and comfortable. I believe that every knitted item should tell a story, evoke emotions, and become a cherished part of someone’s wardrobe. My patterns often draw inspiration from nature, fairytales, and everyday moments, blending these elements into unique and captivating designs.

Featured Patterns

One of my latest creations, Bri’s Cardigan jr., is a perfect example of my design ethos. This charming cardigan for kids is knitted with luxurious merino wool and mohair, combining warmth with a soft, dreamy texture. Adorned with beautiful lace motifs, it’s designed to be both enchanting and easy to wear, making it a delightful addition to any child’s wardrobe.

Another favorite is the Affetziun Scarf, a cozy accessory that features intricate patterns of leaves and hearts. This design features lace techniques to create a textured, visually appealing piece that adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.
