Meet Julie:


I’m the knitwear designer behind Twin Stitches Designs. I’m passionate  about helping other knitters find their love of knitting through  tutorials, Instagram and my published patterns. I live in New Brunswick  Canada with my husband and twin daughters.
A  knitter with over 11 years of experience and designing patterns for  over 5 years and in that short amount of time, has over 160 published  patterns. She has also been featured in Knit Picks, Yarniverse, The  Knitters Planner and has collaborated with others such as We Are  Knitters, Hobbii, Knit Picks, Lion Brand, and Create Room, to name a  few.
She  has also taught virtually at Vogue Knitting Live and Floxie and in  person at the PEI fibre Festival & Hippy Strings Retreat.
Julie Ann has also released her very first knitting book "Knit a box of socks" coming in March 2024.
