When did you start knitting?

I started knitting 6-7 years ago, but over the last 4 years I have greatly increased my time spent knitting.

Where did you learn to knit? Who taught you?

I learned the basics in primary during our handcrafting classes. Everything else, I read in knitting books and learned by trying.

Describe knitting to you in 3 words.

Creativity, relaxation, happiness

Do you prefer to knit for yourself or for others?

At the beginning I have knitted for me and my family but after one year I created my own knitting label, JULIA GRAU DESIGN.

Since this point I have began knitting for other people as well and want to make them happy with my work.

Your favorite stitch?

Mostly I knit in garter stitch but I also love to knit in cable stitch.

I loooooove the super chunky, cozy Nick Blanket.

The petite wool is my favorite.

What is your favorite time to knit? Your favorite place to knit?

If I could, I would love to knit 24/7 but unfortunately, this is not possible every day 😉 and my favorite place: to be honest, everywhere where there is a place to sit.

Any advice for someone starting to knit?

Stay patient at knitting, it pays off!
