My name is Natalia, and I&#8217;ve been creating the KNATE brand since 2017.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">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&#8230; 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.<\/p><p style=\"font-size:16px\">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 \u2014 and they truly stole my heart for good.<\/p><p style=\"font-size:16px\">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 \u2014 hats, scarves, and everything soft, warm, and cozy.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Since 2024, I&#8217;ve also been sharing my knowledge \u2014 creating crochet and knitting courses and patterns. I really enjoy this stage because I can show that knitting isn&#8217;t &#8216;difficult&#8217; or &#8216;only for the chosen few,&#8217; but for anyone who wants to try.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">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.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Personally, I&#8217;m a wife and a mom to two girls \u2014 Laura and R\u00f3\u017ca \u2014 and a dog mom to a Labrador. <\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">For me, KNATE is not just a brand \u2014 it&#8217;s a significant part of my life that I want to share with others.<\/p><p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Thank you for being here!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Me Hey!
