About Me

My name is Hunter Hammersen, and I knit tiny nonsense. I live in coastal Maine, where I can often be found poking at seaweed with a bit of driftwood or visiting my favorite mossy tree stump. There is almost certainly a rock in my pocket right this minute. If you ask nicely, I might just show it to you.

I’m fat, I swear a lot, and I have ridiculous hair. And I am unapologetically shouty about political stuff. No really, I’m the scary, dangerous feminist your angry uncle rants about on facebook. Here, check this out…abortions are good and everyone should have access to them, trans people are great and should get the support they need, unions are fantastic and more people should be in them, police are bad (and ICE is worse) and should be abolished, Trump is a fascist and a tyrant, racists are bad and we should stop humoring them, genocide is bad and Israel should stop doing one, and this pandemic is very much not over and you should be wearing a mask in public places.

If you buy my work, I will absolutely use your money to support the causes I believe in.

If any of that stuff up there bugs you, I’m not the person for you. And that’s ok! But if that all sounds good? If I sound like your kind of person? Well, then I think we can have some fun!

Looking for an older pattern?

I have a lot of patterns! But I also tend to get overwhelmed if I have to deal with them all at once. So I’ve picked 12 of my favorites (the Core Collection) that will usually be available. And every few months, I decide on a theme or a technique and make a handful of related patterns (the Rotating Collection) available for a little while (then they go away again).

The other patterns are retired and are not generally available. However, because I know some folks will want them, I make many the retired patterns available for a few weeks every November. If you want me to tell you when they’re back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, and I’ll be sure to let you know!

• If you see the buy buttons on a pattern’s page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available!

• If you don’t see the buy buttons on a pattern’s page, it’s not currently available.

• If you want to hear when the retired patterns are available (most likely in November), subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.
