My name is Teti, and I’m a botanist turned knitwear designer.
I hold a PhD in botany (lichenology), but traded my lab coat for a pair of knitting needles. Drawn endlessly to the beauty of nature, I discovered my true passion in knitting — a place where creativity, storytelling, and my love for the natural world meet.
My journey, which began as a creative escape from the structure of lab work, became a way to express myself and embrace my Ukrainian heritage. I love sharing the stories, colours, and traditions of my homeland through my designs. My scientific background taught me to value clarity and precision, and I bring that same care to my patterns — they’re thoughtfully written, detailed, and easy to follow. I love floral colourwork patterns cascading down yokes, soft warm colours and delicate textures, feminine silhouettes, and smart little details that make each piece feel special.
Welcome — I’m so happy you’re here ⚘
