Inge learned to knit and crochet as a child growing up in Germany, knitting through high school and college. Not about to leave her needles behind when she moved to the United States, she safely tucked them away in her luggage. On visits back to Germany Inge always stopped by her LYS to visit old friends and for a little bit of inspiration. Developing her own patterns began as a necessity, but soon she realized she had a valuable skill that allowed her to customize her knitting. Inge creates her own designs for sweaters, cardigans and other garments. She believes that learning how to “fit” a garment is an essential skill. Her projects always begin with a “test drive” (a good size swatch) of the desired yarn before she commits to a long journey. Inge loves working with adults and children and encourages her students to “read” their knitting so that they can become comfortable and confident knitters.
