About Hobby Drawer

Welcome to Hobby Drawer—a space where creativity becomes self-care, where slow moments matter, and where the things you make help you bloom from the inside out.
I believe that knitting and mindful hobbies aren’t just pastimes, but gentle ways to reconnect with yourself. Through stitches, textures, colors, and small everyday joys, you can rediscover balance and feel confident in your own skin.

I’m Asta—the hands, heart, and imagination behind Hobby Drawer. I’m a workaholic mom of two, constantly balancing a demanding career with the need for stillness, softness, and creative play. No matter how full life becomes, knitting has always been my way home. It grounds me, inspires me, and reminds me to slow down. And reading has always followed right behind it, lighting up my imagination and keeping curiosity alive.

At home, my “hobby drawers” overflow with yarn, needles, camera lenses, snowboarding gear, sewing supplies, and stacks of books. Some hobbies evolve, some fade, but knitting and reading have been my steady companions for as long as I can remember. They shaped who I am—and Hobby Drawer grew from my desire to share that inner spark with you.

Here, you’ll find knitting patterns and knitwear designs that help you reconnect with yourself while creating pieces that feel beautiful to wear. And alongside them, I offer thoughtfully crafted accessories or life helpers—small, meaningful additions designed to complement your style and carry a touch of inspiration into your everyday life.

I hope this space inspires you to slow down, reconnect, create, and bloom—in your own way, at your own pace.
