About the Designer

Martin Storey is a renown knitting designer known for his intricate cables and colorwork. He is known for always carrying a notebook, which could stem from his background in fashion or propensity for gaining inspiration from the world around us! We love how Martin describes himself on his website:

My greatest love in knitting is, first and foremost, working with yarns that knit up beautifully, wash well and feel good to knit with and, secondly, creating knit designs that are eminently wearable but also special – ideally designs that will stand the test of time and become favourite heirloom pieces that you wear and wear again.

Learn more about Martin on Rowan's website in a fun and beautifully done article. You can also follow Martin's work on Instagram and find his patterns on Ravelry.
