JUNE 2024 - MARINA STORM

Introducing our Designer of the Month for June: Marina Storm, a knitwear designer whose journey from Greece to Spain and finally settling in Mainz, Germany, has infused her creations with a blend of tradition and modernity. Marina's designs, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, are love letters to simplicity with a romantic twist of lace and draping, available in multiple languages for a global audience.

When Marina isn't knitting up a storm, she's sharing her expertise through workshops, specialising in Greek and Portuguese-style knitting. From Madrid's Love Yarn Festival to the Dutch Knitting Festival, Marina's passion for guiding fellow enthusiasts through the intricacies of these techniques knows no bounds.

Her published works include the elegant "Wrapped in a Hug Shawl" featured in Making Stories Magazine, Issue 7, the cozy "Ring Socks" showcased in Malabrigo's Quickies collection, the timeless "Autumn Lines Sweater" designed for KnitPicks Publication, and the versatile "The Meadow Marl Cardigan" highlighted in LITLG Magazine, Issue 7.

Marina's patterns are meticulously tech-edited, thoroughly tested, and designed to be size-inclusive, ensuring that every knitter feels fabulous in their handmade creations. Join Marina on a journey of creativity and inspiration, one stitch at a time - you can follow her on instagram and ravelry!
