MAKING ALL THE THINGS IN HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA

About me

Hi! My name is Claire, I live in Nova Scotia with my husband and two ginger dogs, and I love to make things! I especially love to knit, and I’ve been creating woolly goodness for over twenty years, which means I’ve made a lot.

But do you want to know a secret?

I hardly wore the things I made. I’d pour my heart into projects that, although beautiful, never found a place in my wardrobe because they just didn’t feel like me. Do you know what I mean?

You see, I'm what they call a "process knitter" – someone who revels in the joy of creating rather than chasing the result, so at first, it didn't bother. But as time wore on, frustration crept in.

I had a closet full of knits that, while lovely, didn't resonate with who I truly am and left me confused about what I wanted to wear. It was a wake-up call.

Flossi is my response to that frustration, born from the desire to help you avoid the pitfalls I faced. I create knitting patterns that are not only a joy to knit but also offer you the flexibility to make them uniquely your own, and I'm here to guide you in crafting projects that not only showcase your skills but also express your unique personality.
