Ravelry Designer Profile.jpg

Hey there, fellow yarn addict! I’m Ashleigh, coffee-fueled creative force behind Ashleigh Wempe Designs. My mission is simple: empower knitters like you to confidently express your unique style and create wearable art you’ll beam about.

As a former Air Force Intelligence Officer turned fiber artist, I traded combat boots for knitting needles, bringing military-honed efficiency to my designs. Expect bold colors, mosaic (slip stitch) colorwork that looks way harder than it is, and a dash of global inspiration in my patterns.

I've poured my heart into over 55 patterns, including my best-selling "Mosaic Knitting Workshop" book. So yeah, I know a thing or two about turning yarn into magic. And I believe you can, too.

Ready to find your creative crew and your next knitting adventure?
