Hi, I'm Zanete Hussain

I'm a former software developer who found a new way to write code — through the intricate logic of stitches and rows. My journey from the digital screen to the tactile world of yarn has been driven by a passion for structural elegance.

I grew up in Latvia, where knitting was simply part of life. My grandma taught me as a little girl, and everyone around me knitted — but for years I only knew one sweater construction, one sock construction, one bind off and one cast on. I'd knit here and there at college, at work, whenever I had some time — but nothing like the obsession it's become today.

Almost eight years ago, during maternity leave with my second child, I fell deep into the world of knitting YouTube and Instagram. I discovered new techniques, yarns, and possibilities that completely changed how I saw the craft. Knitting became my outlet for creative expression, emotional rest and peace.

Today I'm known for weaving Latvian folklore motifs into modern colourwork and pushing the boundaries of what yarn can do. My patterns have been featured in knitting magazines worldwide, and I'm proud to have built a community of makers who believe knitting is anything but ordinary.
