Raised in both England and the USA, founder and lead designer, Tina Whitmore, draws from over 20 years of design and 6 years of professional teaching experience to create original patterns and corresponding knitting and crochet kits. She writes patterns for all levels of knitters and crocheters, with an emphasis on intermediate level patterns.

Her unique color sense and creative inspiration come from an extensive background and degrees in both fine arts and textile design, as well as a lifetime of global travel and an appreciation of diverse cultures and history. Knitwhits is based just outside of San Francisco in Emeryville, California.

"Knitwhits kits may win the prize in the category of cute, fun things to knit.. Cotton hats, wool hats, purses, scarves, flowers, cat toys and even knit bikinis; requiring skill levels from beginning to advanced; felted and not felted - there's something here to appeal to every knitter."
