About Yamagara Knits.

Hi, I’m Bernice. I adopted Yamagara as my designer name since I created my first knit design in 2017. Yamagara Knits now offers more than 40 designs, and will continue to grow its collection when inspiration strikes and time permits.

I design knitwear through a thoughtful process that begins with an understanding of the yarn and the story behind it. Some of my ideas simply come from the yarn. Other times, I combine inspirations from nature, culture, memories, self-reflection, art and architecture. I enjoy creating interesting construction, details and engaging knitting process. I try my best to write instructions that are clear and easy to follow.

Besides designing knitwear, I’m a potter, and I teach art in my home studio. I live in Singapore with my husband and daughter.
