Rūta Vaitkutė

I knit in a flat above an old-town courtyard in Vilnius, with a cup of tea going cold beside the chart. My grandmother taught me to knit when I was seven and I have never liked to sit with empty hands.

I draw every pattern myself, knit it twice and write it out as both a chart and written rows. A new video comes every other Thursday, and each shawl in the shop is one I have worn.
