Hello!
My name is Ramunė. Knitting is my biggest passion, and k.N.itty is like one of my children. Knitting has been with me for most of my life. My grandmother was a great knitter and made me many sweaters, but I only started knitting after moving to Vilnius. I taught myself, learning line by line. For more than half my life, this hobby—now my job—has been a daily part of my routine. Well, at least for 300 days a year. 😊
The name k.N.itty came to me long ago, when I was just starting out. Before I got married, my last name was Katinaitė, which sounds like "kitten." I played with the English words "kitten" and "knitting," and that's how k.N.itty was born. Sometimes I think maybe it was fate for me to become a knitter.
Symbols and details are important to me. That’s why my brand’s logo is a sphinx cat. I fell in love with these cats long before my first sphynx, MŪ, joined our family. Now I have two cats and sometimes think about getting a third. Sphynxes may look fierce and not very cuddly, but they are actually very affectionate and gentle. My knits are the same: even though people think wool is rough, it can be soft and warm.
My knitting journey has had many stages. I started knitting at home with needles, then used a household knitting machine. When I couldn’t keep up, I hired knitters to help. I began with children’s knitwear, various projects, and custom pieces. For the past six years, I’ve been creating limited-edition, timeless knitwear. I design, style, knit, and pack everything myself. Every piece, from idea to finished product, is my creation. My knitwear is made in Lithuania by a small family workshop, in limited quantities.
I focus on classic, minimalist designs, high-quality yarns, and perfect craftsmanship. That’s what I aim for! I create clothes that never go out of style and, with proper care, will last a long time.
