Hi, I'm Alexandra Soltyk.

I started handcrafting when I was just 11 years old. What drew me in - and still fascinates me today - is the magic of turning a single strand of yarn into something truly beautiful and meaningful. I’ve always believed that the clothes we create with our own hands carry a special kind of warmth and joy - because they’re made with care, love, and intention.

My journey began in a challenging home. My twin sister Maria and I grew up in a deeply abusive environment. Our father left before we turned one, and our mother struggled with addiction. Life at home was anything but safe - it was chaotic and painful. But handcrafting became my sanctuary. It gave me peace when nothing else could. I would escape into the process, into the rhythm of stitches, and it helped me find moments of joy, even in the hardest times.

We left home young, determined to build new lives. We pursued our studies, found work, and started our families. My daughter Sofi is 17 now, and throughout the years, knitting has been my constant companion. It’s helped me reflect, ground myself, and stay connected to who I am. When Sofi was little, I loved making tiny dresses for her - that’s how I learned the art of knitting for children. It’s not my main focus, but I still share these patterns for free on my Instagram, hoping to pass along the joy they brought me.

In 2021, I completed professional education in knitting, and in 2024, I deepened my knowledge with studies in marketing, sales, and promotion. I now live in Amsterdam with my husband Roman, our daughter Sofi, and our Jack Russell Terrier, Teach.

That same year, I launched my business, creating knitting patterns and educational products for both beginner and advanced knitters. My goal is to make this craft accessible and inspiring, to support others in learning, and to build a space where creativity thrives. I believe knitting is more than a hobby - it’s a way to express yourself, to connect with your inner peace, and to find happiness.

I work closely with my twin sister Maria, who designs beautiful knitted accessories. We support each other in every way - we always have and always will. It’s just us in this world, and our bond runs deep. You’ll find some of her pieces featured here on my website, and I help her with translation and video content.

In addition to knitting guides, I also create informational products for bloggers. When I first started sharing my designs online, I struggled to grow my Instagram and find my voice. Through persistence and learning, I found what works - and now I share those lessons to help other creatives navigate the online world with confidence.

I have many fascinating plans ahead. My dream is to open an online knitting school and continue growing this space where creativity, authenticity, and shared passion meet.

If this resonates with you, join me on this journey. Let’s create, learn, and inspire together.
