My name is Kate Davies. I find that each of these activities has a creative and a critical dimension and the best of possible worlds is one in which I productively combine them all. Knitting is one of my greatest loves, and in when a stroke at the age of 36 ended my academic career I began Kate Davies Designs KDD creating digital patterns for hand knitters. The business lent me a platform to combine my skills in research, writing and design, and rapidly grew into a small publishing company through which I began to produce my own books.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing knitters all over the world enjoying my books and making and wearing my designs. Making things, from books to hats, is what really makes me tick, and as KDD grew I began to explore some different kinds of manufacturing. In I developed my own brands of yarn for hand knitting and in launched my own knitwear line, KDD Originals, designed and made right here in Scotland.
