I'm creating knitted dolls in crochet technique using cotton and wool threads. I especially love playing with textures and to create hairy and fuzzy animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, giraffes, elephants, hedgehogs, turtle, octopuses and much more…

I learned knitting when I was 8 years old but  really started working with it around 15 years ago. 

I was knitting everything possible, mostly jewelry from solver and goldfield strings. The turn to knitting dolls came while I was giving knitting courses to the elderly in an assisted living facility in which I've worked for 4 years. 

I discovered adorable cuteness and a real joy in my heart every time a doll was done, and since then I just can't stop.
