About Crochet Artist Kate Jenkins
Kate Jenkins was a UK knitwear designer who sold beautiful knit designs to a number of well-known labels, including Donna Karan, Missoni and Marc Jacobs before she decided to branch out and launch her own fashion / home design label called Cardigan. She is also a knit and crochet artist, known best for her cheeky take on crochet food, her large yarn-y installations, and her room design at Hotel Pelirocco. She has exhibited in the UK and the United States. She has a New York art show coming up this December; her work is currently on display at a UK restaurant through October. She generally uses 100% lambswool for her crochet art as well as her knit fashions. She also sells cards and prints featuring photos of her crochet art.
Hotel Pelirocco Do Knit Disturb
Hotel Pelirocco is a boutique hotel located on Brighton Beach in England. The rooms at this hotel are “inspired by pop culture, sexy sirens and maverick musicians”. Kate Jenkins designed and executed (with the help of two assistants) a super cute room here called Do Knit Disturb.
