About Me

Hey! My name is Natalia, and I’ve been creating the KNATE brand since 2017.

The desire to create handicrafts has always been within me, literally since childhood. I know it sounds trivial, but for me, it really was that way. It all started with my grandmother Lucyna, who knitted her entire life. The braids she created on sweaters… Something truly special! It was with her that I first saw how something beautiful could be made from yarn. And that has stayed with me to this day.

My crafting journey changed step by step. At first, I upcycled clothes and gave them a second life. Later, I learned to sew on a machine, and only with time did knitting needles and crochet hooks come along — and they truly stole my heart for good.

Over the years, KNATE grew into a place where I fulfilled thousands of orders for women from various corners of the world, though my main base for years was Poland. I mostly created crochet bags, but I also made sweaters and winter accessories — hats, scarves, and everything soft, warm, and cozy.

Since 2024, I’ve also been sharing my knowledge — creating crochet and knitting courses and patterns. I really enjoy this stage because I can show that knitting isn’t ‘difficult’ or ‘only for the chosen few,’ but for anyone who wants to try.

I recently moved to the USA, and this is a new, very exciting chapter for me. I want to continue developing KNATE here and share my passion with an even larger community.

Personally, I’m a wife and a mom to two girls — Laura and Róża — and a dog mom to a Labrador.

For me, KNATE is not just a brand — it’s a significant part of my life that I want to share with others.

Thank you for being here!
