About Xandy Peters
Xandy Peters is a knitting designer and teacher, best known as the innovator of the stacked stitch technique and for the Fox Paws shawl pattern. Starting out as a footwear and product designer, Xandy turned to knitting as a way to explore textiles and surfaces without using factory production and has since made a career out of publishing new patterns and teaching workshops. Xandy has been published in magazines such as Vogue Knitting, Knitscene, Twist Collective, Knitscene, Knitty, and Pom Pom Quarterly. She has a Bluprint class teaching the stacked stitch technique and continues to self publish patterns monthly on Ravelry.
The Philosophy of Xandy Peters: “I want to encourage knitters of all levels to use their craft as a form of self expression, to try new techniques, and to share their projects and experiences. There’s so much more to this craft than fancy yarn and trendy patterns. I place more value on personal growth, applaud artistic expression and celebrate those who make the most of their materials.” Visit her website to read more about her knitting at Xandypeters.com
