My name is Carolina Damonte<\/a>, journalist and handicrafts lover from Buenos Aires. When I was 23 years old I settled in Valencia, where I started a family. I grew up surrounded by women who knitted, embroidered\u2026 and a father who taught me to value all things handmade<\/em>. In 2012 I launched a line of vintage<\/em> clothing for babies and mamas<\/a>. Then, I started to teach knit and crochet classes and opened my Youtube channel<\/a>. A year ago I discovered the beautiful art of designing<\/strong>. I feel an immense feeling of happiness when people say they are in love with my designs. I create in a clear and simple way. As a result, anyone who has some basic knowledge can follow one of my patterns. Therefore, I invite you to follow this top-down<\/strong> \u2013<\/em>from top to bottom- pattern to knit the Lantern Sleeve Top <\/em>on circular needles<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Maternity has brought me closer to this artistic facet that I had relegated to the sidelines. I would never design something that I wouldn\u2019t use or wouldn\u2019t put on my daughters. The choice of materials<\/strong> is also important so that our creations shine for themselves. There is no doubt in my mind that of all the stages in my life, this is the happiest. Crisis moments can always offer you a new opportunity. You only need to be brave and to reinvent yourself as many times as is necessary.
