The best thing in life is knitting.

I've suffered from depression for several years now. Alternately, I have been working and then again been on sick leave. Some days are better than others, some days are worse.. and some days are really, really bad. Depression has prevented me from going to work, seeing my friends, and caring for myself, among many other things. It affects so many things in my life in so many ways. However, there is one thing my disease has not been able to influence, and that is knitting. It is the only thing I do daily, despite my condition.

In March 2018, I had enough courage to write down and publish my first pattern, Alkuja. At the beginning of 2019, I started as a sole proprietor. I design knitting patterns, and I have also opened a small online store for my Finnish customers, where I sell knitting accessories.
