- Those who love to create….…. You know who I am talking about. Each and every one of us, who cannot wait to create something with our hands. How do you start the creative process? This year I actually went to Rhinebeck and while I was walking around, I kept returning to that colorful image from such a long time ago. I also thought about making a sweater just for…

Here is an excerpt from the magazine: “Bask in easy summer living with the Golden Days Lounge Shorts, a warm-weather essential designed for comfort and style.

About Me

Stana D. Sortor’s grandmother taught her how to knit and crochet when she was a little girl. Ever since she took her projects everywhere. Of course she has experienced some sidesteps on her knitting path, like trying to be an artist, photographer or writer, but she always returned to her favorite activity.
Some of my patterns are for sale and plenty are free. The patterns for sale are helping me to support my creativity and share it with you.
You can also purchase the patterns in my Etsy store, on Payhip, on LoveCrafts, on KnitPicks, on Ravelry, or you can buy me a coffee to show your appreciation of my free patterns.
I also have a newsletter I started this year where subscribers get exclusive offers available only to them. Use the contact form below to subscribe.
Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you will have fun when knitting some of my creations!
