THE BRAND

Woolsmith Knitwear’s aim is to make contemporary and timeless garments that you can reuse and re-wear year after year. After all, all the time and effort that you put in to your handmade knits should be shown off as long as possible.

EMINA JONASSON

In everyday life I’m a 29 year old teacher for the ages 16-19. My subjects are Swedish and Swedish as a second language. Since clear instructions are a part of my everyday job, I hope that it reflects in my patterns. I aim to write clear and easy to understand patterns. If you have any questions of feedback regarding the clarity of any of my patterns please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, either via Instagram or e-mail.

KNITTING JOURNEY

I started my knitting journey at 11 years old with the mandatory garter stitch scarf in a terribly purple colour. After my childhood knitting journey began, my needles was left untouched for several years only to be picked up again by my 25 year old self. As an adult I lacked something creative to do in my spare time and turned to knitting again. This time I didn’t put the needles down, amazed by the beautiful garments that I could create using all the new patterns that had been released when I was away. After some time I realised that I never really wanted to follow the patterns as they were written. I always wanted to make changes to make them look exactly as I imaged them. This need to improve already finished patterns turned into creating my own. The creation of my own knitwear is what has now turned into Woolsmith Knitwear.
