Niabi

Artist

Biography

I was introduced to knitting several years ago by one of my staff members who introduced me to knitting, teaching me how to use a board loom, which ignited my passion for the craft. I also turned to YouTube tutorials to expand my skillset. When I knit, I always begin by selecting colors, often choosing the recipient’s favorite shade. Knitting brings me a deep sense of relaxation and joy, filling me with a great sense of accomplishment when I complete a project. In the future, I hope to learn how to knit hats and blankets while also improving my understanding of patterns.
