Bio:
Alexandra of Purl Bear Designs is a knitwear based in The Netherlands. She grew up among the pines and snow and now lives by the dunes and sea. Nature is tightly woven into her soul and inspiration for her designs. She loves the natural colours, textures and the effect the play of sunlight and shadows bring to both. She likes creating a modern, minimalistic, clean look with a unique detail. Her first design, Crisp Morning, came out in Laine magazine, in December 2023, and she’s been enjoying designing ever since. You can see more of her designs on her Ravelry and Instagram pages.
