Hello!

Welcome, we are so happy that you stopped by! Lesley Anne Robinson is the knitting pattern designer behind Knit Graffiti Designs. She loves to create knitting patterns that focus on modern style with a flair for something different. After graduating from the College for Creative Studies (located in Detroit, Michigan) with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Fiber Design in 2006, she moved to New York City, where she spent several years there working as a commercial Interior Designer for Spin Design. She started knitting in college, but in 2015 began self-publishing knitting designs. Brioche knitting is her main passion. She fell in love with the technique and just hasn’t gotten sick of it yet. Lesley loves to teach others how to knit those beautiful brioche stitches, and spends her days swatching out new brioche stitch patterns. Lesley is currently living in South Texas with her husband and two boys, designing in her small home studio, where she also films her online classes. You can find Lesley on Ravelry and Instagram as @knitgraffiti.

Knitting and Designing

Right now, I am working on learning new knitting techniques, having a diverse handmade wardrobe, and being conscious of the materials in which I invest. I strive to focus my designs on modern style with a flair for something different, using both interesting and simple methods. I am in love with color and use it to express myself, my inner voice. My goals are to create fun, innovative designs using a diverse amount of yarn, from indie dyers, to local mills, to eco-friendly.

Design Collaboration: I am currently not taking on any new collaborations. If you would like to contact me to show me your yarn or discuss a collaboration, see my email addresses below.
