About Knitlidt
Knitlidt is run by Camilla Grady, a 22-year-old student teacher, knitting and coffee enthusiast, who develops knitting patterns in her spare time . As a half-American and Dane with Faroese descent, Grady is a bit of a cultural cocktail, which her knitting characterized by. That is why she chose the name Knitlidt (knit a bit) as it is a mixture of her two mother tongues: English and Danish. Many of Knitlidt's knitting patterns are also inspired by the Faroese knitting culture. Knitlidt's pattern series Katrin is inspired by a classic Faroese diamond pattern.
Statements from the woman behind Knitlidt
"My knitting adventure is still relatively new. I have only been knitting since 2019. At that time I lived in the Faroe Islands for almost a year and a half, and I have since become part of the great knitting culture by being inspired by the many traditional Faroese knitting patterns. It hasn't been long since I founded Knitlidt , but I'm very excited about developing knitting patterns and excited to see where my knitting adventure will lead."

" There is a kind of freedom in developing knitting patterns yourself, as you are allowed to be creative, experiment and be inspired by what others have created before you. I am inspired by big and small knitting designers, people I know, and people I don't know. The downside of my no-pattern-on-the-feeling method is that I often try my hand at it, and it often ends up that I have to screw up 1, 2, or 5 times. But in the end something good will come out of it - something that I can be proud to have created. And imagine if someone can be inspired by this and knit something that I designed. It's a great feeling. "
