Every morning I am genuinely delighted to get to work knitting in my new studio space in Nashville, TN. I was sad to leave my studio in Dublin, Ireland and thought I’d never be able to replace the feeling of that space - but doubling my square footage certainly soothes the soul :)

The scenery out my window is quite different, but I’m so happy to be here and be surrounded by some really special things I didn’t have in my Dublin studio - my swivel stool that my Papaw used to work on in his optometry practice, my miniature hand-cranked Singer sewing machine that my Uncle Randy found for me at an estate sale, and a massive plywood desk that is sturdier than any set up I’ve had before (thank you Jonathan Malphrus / Steric Design!)

With all this fresh change, it’s nice to resume knitting patterns I developed last year and beyond, the familiarity of the stitches and shaping is easy to return to. But I also have the itch for working on fresh designs. I am focusing on developing a new collection of MENSWEAR / UNISEX silhouettes in order to expand my offering of inclusive sizing.

I love a good cropped and boxy feminine cut, that’ll still remain in the popular vivid & neutral vests and in the Anna Sweater. Creating new silhouettes from scratch takes time. I look forward to sharing more of my process with you. For daily happenings be sure to follow along on Instagram @studio_kelsey. For bigger and brief updates, sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of this page where I’ll announce any upcoming launches.

Thanks for following along, for all your orders over this last year, and for all the kind words and support.

xx, Kelsey
