Rosie Madsen
I first learned to knit from my Grandma aged 7. My first piece, in lumpy, multicoloured mohair, was full of dropped stitches and then lovingly presented to my dad as “underpants”.
In 2010 I fell in love and moved to Denmark. Obsessed with knitting by this point and with shaky Danish, I started a knitting meetup at cafes in Copenhagen. Soon I was buying fleeces, learning to spin my own yarn and designing patterns.
I grew up in the countryside on the border between West Yorkshire and Manchester, UK. I still live in Denmark with my husband Mads and our lovely 5 year old, Torbjørn.
