Georgia love to takes her passion for creativity, knitting and design into workshops. Whether it’s in person at yarn shows Like Vogue Knitting Live in the US, at residential retreats like the Watermill at Posara in Italy, or at local yarns stores, she loves nothing more than to be in a room with other knitters, sharing her unique style of creative design and knitting.

Another way that Georgia likes to share her work is through presentations and talks on her design process and portfolio of work. And to make the world a bit smaller and to give access to knitters globally, she also teaches virtually through platforms like Rowan Connect.

ABOUT

Georgia Farrell is a British designer, with a passion for creating hand knitting designs with an architectural aesthetic. Spending the last 10 years working in the industry, she has built a diverse portfolio of patterns and collections.

Georgia combines a methodical approach to visual research, with a more fun and free approach to creative exploration. Never happier than when she is exploring new cities on foot, taking time to look up at the architecture, capturing new buildings on camera, stopping to sketch and knit with a coffee along the way before taking all of these new perspectives and ideas back to her design studio in Colchester, to get stuck into the creative process.

Georgia loves all things art, design, architecture and fashion, absorbing it all to instinctively curate fresh colour palettes and build inspirational concept boards, that set the tone for each new project.

With a long background in textiles, Georgia skilfully translates her love for architectural details, shapes and lines, into knitted fabrics. She uses contrasting textures to create depth and a sense of light and shade, travelling cables emphasised with slip stitch details that turn the structures of buildings into knitted stitches and intarsia colour-work to create abstract landscapes and graphic patterns. Creating these fabrics through swatching, seeing the fabrics emerge stitch by stitch, row by row like bricks forming a building, is Georgia’s favourite part of the design process.

Through sketching and technical drawings, the final pieces are carefully formed. From here she crafts and builds carefully curated collections of accessories, garments and homewares, to be knitted, worn and enjoyed.
