Avoid sewing separate parts together.
Alexandra is a designer of uncomplicated but fashionable accessories and garments for young and old. As a mom of two, she creates designs that are practical and suitable for everyday use, even for novice knitters.
Alexandra rediscovered knitting in 2014 and has been addicted to knitting needles ever since. She knits every day – everything except socks.

Her special mission: Avoid sewing separate parts together.
“Knitting is my yoga. It relaxes me and at the same time gives me the opportunity to let my creativity run free, to develop new designs and at the same time let things come into being.”
Since the beginning of 2021, Alexandra can also be seen regularly on her Youtube podcast (german), where she shares her knitted works, designs and matching stories from her life. In addition, she also presents new yarn trends and knitting needles.

My favorite needle sizes: 3.50mm to 6.00mm (anything less is toothpicks)
Where does she get all the ideas for her models?
"I am inspired by fashion as seen in the city or on TV," says Veronika Hug. Some ideas also come from questions and suggestions from readers and in exchange with her many Facebook contacts.
Veronika Hug acquired the know-how to develop and realise such ideas through art knitting. Already at the age of 15, the accomplished needleworker picked up knitting and crochet needles and knitted whatever yarn she could find. Later, she devoted herself to knitting - a creative balance to her then job as an administrative assistant. At this time she also began to design knitting models herself. Soon she received her first commissions to write instructions, which she did for many years until she finally worked as an editor and author herself and published her first books. She was always open to new techniques, so that for example knooking, knitting or the Tunisian crochet technique and quite recently macramé were added.
