About Me…

Hi there!

I’m Gianna – maker, designer, and yarn lover behind Little Red Knits. I’m so glad you’re here. I would love to tell you about myself and how Little Red Knits all began.
My husband and I married in 2016. We have a dog named Henry and a cat named Ruby. We love to travel and enjoy spending weekends at our cottage in northern Michigan. Autumn is our favorite season – nothing beats hanging around the bonfire with the changing colors and cool temperatures!

My grandfather nicknamed me “Little Red” the day I was born. I am the only other redhead in the family besides his older brother, who he called “Red.” So naturally being next in line, “Little Red” was made for me.

My grandmother taught me how to knit in 2012. It was long before I had a smart phone or Instagram, and I was looking for something to occupy my free time, (oh those were the days, lol). She always had knitting needles in her den, so I finally asked her to teach me how to use those things! From that moment on, I was hooked, (pun intended), and Little Red Knits was born. In 2016 I taught myself how to crochet and started selling my finished pieces at local markets. All my items are offered in a variety of classic colors that work together to compliment many styles.

Although my business is still mainly selling finished goods, I am transitioning into designing more. My design style is definitely quick & easy, and beginner friendly. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned maker, a quick project is always something that leaves you satisfied, and wanting to make more. My designs are perfect for making gifts, stocking up for shows, or just for a fun project that you can wear right away. Head on over to my blog page to find designs, free patterns, and all things fiber related!

I know you will find something you love, and I welcome new ideas for your custom pieces. Please contact me with any inquiries!
