Hi, I'm Rachel!

I have been self-publishing patterns under the Arbor Twist name since 2015. My work has been featured in Knitscene Magazine and I placed second in the 2017 edition of an international speed knitting competition called Sock Madness. I occasionally teach classes on sock knitting and gauge at my local yarn store.

I'm the creator of Knitting Recipes, where you can generate free pattern for hats and socks. I also curate and write Start Designing Today to help aspiring knitting and crochet pattern designers.
