Elisabeth Johannessen

Founder

Knitting brings peace to my mind and I love that I have the possibility through my work to explore my creativity through knitting. I really enjoy seeing how our knitting community, easy as knit, is growing - here, everyone can learn new techniques. At easy as knit, I am the one who develops our knitting patterns and I am in charge of everything that concerns numbers. I have a background in the history of ideas and gender studies and I have always had great interest in charity - I have, among other things, worked at a crisis centre in Tanzania.

Christine Skylvad

Founder

I started to knit during the first lockdown where I realised that it was difficult for me, as a beginner, to understand the terminology. I was missing a brand like easy as knit where everything is made easy to understand and all the techniques are shown in videos. At easy as knit, I am in charge of our social media, marketing and idea development for our new designs, amongst other things. I have a background in information science and have previously been on the national team for golf.

Our journey

In 2020 we made the foundation for easy as knit. I (Christine) decided to learn how to knit during the first covid lockdown. During this time, I realised how difficult it was to enter the world of knitting as a beginner and learn the terminology such as fx stitch maker and magic loop - I often had to ask my friend Elisabeth for help.

These struggles led to the idea of creating a community where completely inexperienced knitters could learn how to knit through patterns with explanations and videos of the different techniques.

What started as an idea has now become a company with a full-time employee, a student helper and a trainee, amongst others. Today, easy as knit has grown and we are teaching new techniques to both beginners and intermediate knitters.

All of our employees wear multiple hats which means that we can always teach each other new things that can be used to further improve easy as knit.

Our vision is that everyone should have the possibility to learn how to knit and experience the happiness that knitting can bring. Therefore, we wish to make knitting accessible for all.
