Designs

Welcome to my Designs Page! All of my patterns are designed to highlight the beautiful dyeing styles of my favorite yarn dyers, and I especially love to create from my own stash (hence, Cold Sheep Designs). You can find all of these for purchase from my Ravelry designer page. All of my designs for sale have been test-knit and professionally tech edited.

About the Designer

Amanda Stephens is a knitwear designer from Atlanta, GA. Amanda lives with her husband, Joel, and their two beautiful children. Amanda was inspired to learn to knit in college after observing her friend knit cabled fingerless mitts on double-pointed needles, and she’s been obsessed with cables ever since.

While she holds a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Amanda chose to pause her career in teaching to spend more time with her family while they are young. Amanda still loves to teach and spends a portion of her time helping other knitters create beautiful projects.
