Welcome

Hello, and thank you for stopping by! My name’s Natalie Warner.

Depending on how you’ve found me, I’m a:

  • Designer of knitting patterns
  • Teacher specialising in knitwear design and garment construction
  • Writer of a fashion and textiles blog
  • Gardener who contributes to Radicle on Substack

Underpinning these areas is a fascination with how local and personal spaces can be sources of emotional nourishment and wellbeing, or how the clothes we wear and spaces we inhabit support and root us. Through my work I help others to create emotionally supportive environments and tap into their creative power.
