About Me

Welcome to Knittle & Pearl!  I started this blog as a chance to write about something I love to do – knitting!  I learned to knit as a kid from my grandma, but it was only once I started to connect with my local knitting community that I really started to improve, and become obsessed with knitting. And the more I knit, the more I wanted to be more of a part of the Maker community, so this blog is my venture into having more of a voice in this community. I love to make other people’s patterns, but occasionally I like to dabble in pattern designing, and you can find some free patterns here, or head to my Shop or Ravelry for my paid patterns too!  With the patterns I make, I like to give my honest opinions on the patterns, and yarns I use, so that anyone making with those things after me can have the best success possible. If you want to know more you can visit my very first blog post, send me a message, or follow me on Instagram or Pinterest!

Why Knittle & Pearl?

I was trying to find a name that included knit and wasn’t taken. I had a long list of names to check out, but this one I really liked and it wasn’t already in use (aside from a few families who have it as their last name). Pearl is a play on 2 things: 1) the purl stitch in knitting and 2) that my name, Megan, means pearl.
