My name is Kyoko; I'm the designer behind Glove Genie, the profile where I share my lifelong love of knitting gloves.

I'm originally from Japan and now live in London with my husband, two children (and two guinea pigs). I've been knitting for as long as I can remember! Before I took some time off to care for my family, I created designs for British, American, and Japanese publications.

Now, as a designer, I've returned to what I love—gloves of every kind are my passion!

Kyokos Empfehlung – addi-Lieblingsprodukte

Der Klassiker – addiPremium Rundstricknadel

Ich liebe das Stricken mit addi-Nadeln wegen ihrer Langlebigkeit, ihrem durchdachten Design und ihrer Innovation.

Ein Favoriten sind die addiPremium Rundstricknadeln in 80 cm, die sich perfekt für das Stricken von Accessoires mit der Magic-Loop-Technik eingnen.

Knit Convertible Gloves fingerless with a cap

This simple convertible glove is a fun and satisfying project. Worked entirely in stockinette stitch, it’s perfect for showcasing beautiful yarn and adding a contrasting button for extra impact. The soft, bouncy texture of Lang Yarns Regina gives the gloves a polished and cosy look.
