About Me

Hey there! I'm Ashleigh, the maker behind Uffda Knits. Minnesota winters might be brutal, but that's what sparked my love for cozy knits. There's something truly special about creating beautiful, handcrafted accessories that keep you warm and stylish.

Like many Minnesotans, I'm a sucker for "Uffda" moments. (You know, that feeling when the cold hits you!) But beyond the winter chill, I'm passionate about creating unique pieces that elevate your everyday style. Whether it's a luxurious winter beanie or a breezy summer crochet bag, I pour my heart (and a lot of love) into every stitch.

My journey with yarn started way back.  Knitting is the perfect blend of creativity and comfort, allowing me to express myself while also indulging my inner perfectionist. (INTJ here, anyone?)

When I'm not dreaming up new designs, you can find me chasing after my little ones, sipping lukewarm coffee (#momlife), or exploring the beauty of Minnesota. Travel has always been a source of inspiration for my work, and someday I hope to infuse my designs with even more far-flung adventures.

Uffda Knits is more than just a shop – it's a community. I love connecting with fellow art lovers and all things Minnesotan! Feel free to reach out if you have questions about any item in my shop, want to collaborate on a project, or simply share your love for all things cozy. You can also find me hanging out on Instagram (@uffda.knits) – I love connecting with folks in my stories and DMs!

Do what makes you happy, focus on what's important in life, and try to make the world a better place - even if that means just buying a beanie or a keychain that gives back.  

I'm absolutely thrilled to be on this journey with you.

Love, 

Ashleigh
