Hello, I'm Louise
Hi, I’m Louise, and Handy Little Me is my little corner of the internet dedicated to knitting, crochet, and the joy of handmade living.
I started this shop from a love of creating with my hands and a passion for beautiful, simple designs that feel comforting and timeless.
Each pattern is created with care and inspired by texture, color, and the kinds of pieces that bring warmth to everyday life.
I love designing projects that feel approachable, enjoyable to make, and special enough to keep, wear, or gift.
Thank you for stopping by and supporting my work. It truly means so much, and I hope this shop inspires you to make something beautiful.
Get to Know Me a Little
From where it all began to the small things I love most, here’s a little more about me.
Where It All Began
I am an experienced textile designer – my background is in textiles and surface design.
When I’m not knitting
Browsing shops, most often for yarn, but I do have a soft spot (and weakness) for bags.
Favorite drink
Tea or coffee (there’s always a cup nearby).
Meet The Fam
This is my crew, the people who keep me going. They’ve supported every idea, every late night, and every new design.
Fotis
Meet my husband Fotis who models men’s knitwear and helps out with the occasional photo/video session.
He can speak 4 languages fluently and loves Greek food.
Jason
Meet Jason – He is the model for all doggo knitwear and patterns. Named after the actor Jason Statham, he delivers a good kick and slap when he wants your sandwich or to see what’s in your bag. He’s my everyday office assistant and he loves stealing fluffy yarn.
My values
The Values Behind My Patterns
Quality Over Quantity
I’d rather create fewer, better patterns than rush out designs that don’t feel right.
Beginner-friendly confidence
Knitting and crochet should feel calming, not overwhelming. My patterns are designed to be clear, approachable, and enjoyable to make.
Crafted With Heart
Every pattern is created with care, tested, and refined. This isn’t mass-produced, it’s personal, thoughtful work from start to finish.
Built With Care
This isn’t a big company; it’s me, creating each pattern with time, attention, and intention.
