Reena Bino [inactive]
India
Describing herself as a lace knitting artist, Reena Bino is a hand knit designer based in Goa, India.
At 8 years old she was taught to knit by her mother and since then "has been on a continuous journey of learning new stitches, trying new things and writing new patterns".
A highly experienced lace knitter she takes inspiration from natural forms, finding leaves particularly inspiring as they represent both new growth and opportunity.
Designing under the name Nivita Knits, she combines a bold and playful use of colour with intricate lace stitches to produce limited edition and one-of-a-kind hand knitted accessories for the home. From table centrepieces to Christmas decorations each piece is lovingly hand knitted by Reena who imbues each with its own persona.
