About us
WHERE IT ALL BEGUN.
Believe it or not – three years ago I couldn’t knit at all. However I found myself browsing the internet for knitting instructions of lovely bonnets. It was the very first time I tried to knit since elementary school. I learned to knit by my lovely friends from social media, Youtube and relatives: I knitted every night after I put my first born to sleep. When the first bonnet was ready, I was instantly hooked on knitting! At first I made only accessories, and little by little I moved on to bigger projects like sweaters.
My very first Taimi-bonnet, designed by me, got started by accident. I had some excess yarn from self-made blanket for my first born baby. This fall 2020 after a series of events and developing I decided to found my company, Silmu Knitting. I’m looking forward to offer you knitting workshops, DIY-kits and high quality knitwear!
Welcome aboard to follow our journey from the beginning.

I have completed the vocational education of financial management. At this moment I’m studying visual designing in Helsinki. Entrepreneuring is all new and exciting to me.

I love to work with people and therefore I’m excited about the new workshops!
