Kerstin Balke, Germany

Kerstin Balke from northern Germany, known as Stine & Stitch, has been knitting since she was six years old. She has turned her hobby into a profession and has published several knitting books. Balke prefers to work with multi-coloured yarns and designs particularly colourful jacquard patterns. She is inspired by Scandinavian design and traditional patterns. Clever colour combinations give Balke's knitting a modern look, as in these Harlequin, By the Sea and Late Summer socks designed for Novita.
