In this episode of Knit A Spell, I’m thrilled to be joined by the incredibly talented Hannah Mann, designer behind the bold and mystical patterns of Dear Ingenue. We dive deep into her journey from self-taught knitter to designer of the stunning Skull Collection, including her signature pieces like the Dead of Night sweater and Witching Hour poncho. 🧶💀
Hannah shares how her love for bird skulls and personal connections to nature and life’s cycles influenced her creative process. We talk about her unique approach to colorwork, how she incorporates skull imagery into her designs, and tips for knitters looking to take their colorwork skills to the next level.
✨ In This Episode:
- Hannah’s origin story as a designer (hint: it involves a crow ritual from high school!)
- The inspiration behind her Skull Collection
- Colorwork tips for beginners
-Creative ways to use bones and skull imagery in both knitting and witchcrafting
🧙♀️ Bonus: Don’t miss the Color of the Week – it’s a vibrant one!
