Please welcome the third of our four featured designers for this year's upcoming Pro-Verbial Club!
SERENA QIU / OZUKO
Serena's patterns are made for hand-knitters who want to make clothes that are gender-playful, color curious, and that love on their bodies.
Knitting shares brainspace with stories from Asian diasporas, East Asian garment design, their training in art history, and the work of folks who play & slay with their fashion. They design with natural materials from people of color, womxn, queer maker communities.
Serena wants their patterns to function like templates for you to experiment with your own sense of color & pattern. Or leave you with some customization techniques that you can take to your future projects. Or inspire you to make variations and changes based on its single silhouette. They hope their patterns give you a sense of ownership of your knitting and skills.
Ozuko is a tribute to their yarn inspectors, Ozu (cat) and Kopiko (also cat). As you read this, they are chomping & chasing & napping on & staring at Serena's yarn.
