ROSA GROESZER
I love to develop beautiful designs for children and women and to write the patterns. As a natural born Berliner, I am inspired by the pulse of my city, my two lively girls and modern art. I like geometrical concepts and structures, as you can find them also in architecture. I prefer to use finest natural materials for my work. My key focus is keeping a knitting project exciting. At the same time, I am working on the best way for an uncomplicated making.
Happy knitting!
