Faroe Islands
Faroeknit is all about knitting patterns, inspired by Faroe Islands!
I’m Randi, the founder of Faroeknit. I am from the Faroe Islands in the Northern Scandinavia. I live together with my husband and 3 daughters in Vágur, located on the southernmost island of Suðuroy.
It all started in 2016. I had been home for about two years, with my youngest daughter, because of her very early debut of Diabetes Type 1. I had no job and a low income. I remember my grandma always said, use your talents, do not let them go to waste. While staying home, I reflected about my life and this: Is there something I am really good at? I have always been a creative soul, and I love to draw (even my math books were full of colours). And I love to knit. If I could combine my love of drawing and knitting, my life would be perfect! And suddenly it just made sense: Of course, knitwear designer is what I will become! My first sweater was the Bohéme sweater from 2017,
