Meet all of Our Amazing Designers

We are so grateful for the amazing team of designers that are writing patterns using our looms. All of these designers are independent contractors and own their patterns exclusively. They are allowed to sell their patterns on our website as well as any other platform they choose. Each designer is expected to test their patterns and make sure that they are their own original work.  Most designers are willing to answer questions about their patterns if you contact them. They are members of our I Love CinDWood Looms Facebook Group and can be contacted there.

Designer Deborah Shaw   Christie Pruitt Loom Knitting Pattern Designer

Deborah Shaw

Deborah has always been into crafting things. She has done embroidery, macramé, jewelry making, painting, needle knitting and then loom knitting. She makes her own shampoos, conditioners, cleaners, creams, and more. Once she started loom knitting, she saw you could do what was done on needles using knits and purls. Deborah thought if mock crochet doesn’t curl and it has not used purls, then how does that happen? Then she realized you can keep work from curling by balancing the stitches not with opposite stitches but by the balancing the tension by using opposite directions. Then you could create many more stitches some of which would be hard to ever do on needles. That’s when she started creating her own stitches and patterns.

Christie Pruitt

Christie is a self-taught needle knitter.  After 20 years of creating many beautiful needle knitted items she had to give up that fiber art because of a repetitive stress injury. She loved knitting so much, and was so happy when she realized she could create beautiful items on looms. She now enjoys transferring knitted patterns to the loom and creating original loom knit patterns. Cables have always been a passion of Christie's, so she tries to incorporate them into her patterns as often as she can.
