KristPattern

ack women and queer writers. But, I truly find joy, when I have a crochet hook, or an embroidery needle or my Prismacolor colored pencils in hand, stitching and drawing masterpieces that I can wear and put on other objects. It can take a long time to write a book or plan a city. But you can crochet a hat in about an afternoon, sometimes less. You can draw a beautiful picture in moments. I created Kristpattern to bridge(pun intended) the gap between the projects I do that have a longer incubation time and ones that I can do quickly. I am also putting more energy and time in this, after a decade of primarily doing my other work, because I see how slow fashion can do it's part in helping our environment and making cities better. Also, with the COVID-19 pandemic, I found comfort in being able to create, especially in creating objects that were a little scarce. Eventually, I want to blend my career and my hobby even more, by creating in-person spaces for craft, especially in airports, train stations, near bus stops and in walking distance because I believe that craft is something that everyone should have, not just those who live in places where you can drive to your favorite major craft shop. But, I love those and the small places too. On this page, you'll find my crafty adventures and also you can purchase my patterns on the various sites I sell on.
