Hilary is part of the IDP program, but her designs have also been a part of past Knit Picks exclusive collections. So naturally, we were thrilled when we first saw her Burnished design - the Poua Pullover knitting pattern. Take a peek at Hilary's workspace and learn more about her inspiration, must-have tools and more! |

I thought I'd use this blog post as a way to give you a peek behind the scenes into what goes into the designing of a pattern book! |

Hi! I'm Emily, and I'm the new graphic designer here at Knit Picks. I'm so excited to be able to combine my passion for knitting and the handmade with my love for design. It's incredibly inspiring to spend my days surrounded by yarn, needles, new patterns, and the creativity of my co-workers. It's so inspiring, in fact, that in the short time since I've joined the team, I've already cast on for two new projects, and my to-knit list has gotten substantially longer! |

It's a rare day when the weather manages to cooperate and we're able to do a photo shoot outside without some sort of cover here in Portland and I'm always delighted when I can book a model and schedule time with our photographer with a clear forecast on the horizon. I keep a running catalog of "this would be so great to shoot the next time we have some nice weather" places around Portland and this time Mississippi Ave. in NE Portland had it's turn as our location of choice for the Bulky 2013 pattern collection. |
