Our Story

From The Designer

Ira Rott - Knitting, Quilting, and Crochet Pattern Designer 
Hello fellow crafters and all handmade enthusiasts! My name is Ira Rott. I’m a Canadian pattern designer, fiber artist and author. I learned to sew, knit, and crochet at a very young age and I enjoy sharing my passion for fiber art through my quilting, knitting and crochet designs inspired by animals and nature. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Zaporizhzhia, located on the Dnieper River in southeastern Ukraine. Both of my parents are textile engineers, so I was growing up in a home packed with fabrics, yarns, and books. I never missed an opportunity to create, either with my parents, grandparents, or in school. Needle-crafting has always felt natural to me, as it has been a long-standing tradition in our family, passed down through generations. My happy place is where fabric and yarn meet fun!
