~ It doesn’t matter what I’m knitting,
I am knitting just to knit. - Lorelai Gilmore ~

Hiya! I’m C.C. (they/them). I'm the Mamma part of the design team JavaPurl Designs.

A little about me: I’m a disabled person living in the Pacific Northwest. I work full-time at a local children’s hospital in addition to designing & co-hosting our podcast / FlossTube.

I'm a self-taught knitter (began in 2005) and can crochet just enough to be dangerous. I began designing knitting patterns in 2012.

I'm addicted to coffee, the colour pink, our cat Pink Purl Almon (aka the cutest cat in the world), the Gilmore Girls, lots of geeky things, knitting, & cross stitch! 

Hi! I’m Dami (they/them), and I’m the second half of the JavaPurl Designs team!

A little about me: I’m a non-binary lesbian who graduated in 2022 with a degree in theatre. I hope to either go into performance or perhaps support my eventual community by opening a cat cafe/bakery.

I began knitting in 2007 and designing knitting patterns in 2016 - and then I discovered hand-stitching in 2019!

I enjoy numerous handcrafts such as knitting and stitching, and aim to be an avid support of queer-affirming and anti-racism in all aspects of my life. Some great pieces of media I enjoy include The Great Comet, Lord of the Rings, Pushing Daisies, and Cabin Pressure!
