Hello! My name is Renée. I’m 30 years old and live in the Netherlands. I started knitting in 2012. I’ve always greatly admired designers and I’d thought I’d give it a go too. I loved it! I’m now working on expanding my store. I like designs that incorporate modern aspects into the tradition of knitting and crochet.
