Cathie Agates

Textile Artist

I learned   to knit from my mum and to crochet from a neighbour while growing up in   Scotland. Those early lessons have stayed with me, shaping a practice that’s   both practical and personal.

Over   time, I’ve built a collection of more than 200 patterns for all ages. When I   return to a pattern, I tend to make it my own—adjusting stitches, refining   details, or reworking sections so it better suits how I like to work and how   I want the finished piece to feel.

I enjoy working with a wide   range of yarns, from 4-ply to super chunky, and I’m drawn to different fibres   depending on the project—cotton, acrylic, wool, and blends. For me, it’s   about choosing what works best in the moment and letting the materials help   shape the outcome.
