I Don't Knit for the 'Gram.
I Knit for the Heat.

You won't find me on Instagram. You won't see selfies of me wearing a half-finished sweater. If you look up kazwoot on Ravelry, you’ll find a ghost town. An account that has existed since 2018, silently queuing patterns, searching, and stashing.

I’m not an influencer. I'm an introvert. I’m a software engineer, an animal lover and a knitter.

I have crocheted since i was a teenager, and only started knitting in 2018, learning by watching youtube videos (thank-you VeryPink Knits, Nimble Needles, Roxanne Richardson and a cast of thousands more), and I've been hooked ever since. I spent years trawling through yarn shops hunting for the perfect wool in the colour I wanted, only to find that it was out of stock. And you all know what it's like when you need that yarn ASAP. I love Google, but it can't search for yarn for s**t.

When I'm not debugging scrapers or wrangling Python, I'm usually mid-sweater. My stash is dangerously full of Istex Lettlopi—not just because I love the rustic, woolly texture, but because living on the Belfast coast means knitting isn't a hobby, it's armor. If it can't withstand a horizontal Atlantic rainstorm and keep me warm through an Irish winter, I'm not casting it on. Icelandic wool or bust.

PurlStreet is what happens when a crypto-investing (yes, girls do that too!), tea-drinking, chaos-loving engineer decides to fix the supply chain. I didn't build this site to show off my yarns. I built it so you can find yours.

Welcome to the upgrade.

Kazwoot.
