Nest Creative Works

Hi, I’m Kat Rieckel — knitwear designer, textile artist, maker, and digital marketer.
On this channel, I share my journey in knitwear and textile design: behind-the-scenes studio updates, knitting podcasts, original pattern launches, sewing and spinning projects, and inspiration for building a handmade capsule wardrobe.

Nest Creative Works (formerly WildernestKnits) is where I explore slow, intentional making. I’ve been knitting since childhood and designing patterns since 2017. I believe in the magic of making your own clothes — shaping each stitch and telling a story through fiber.

Originally from Czechia, I now lived in New York for almost a decade. My love of natural textures is deeply influenced by time spent on my family’s sheep farm. I work mostly with rustic, natural yarns.
