Cristina Simionovici (aka AvidKnitter on Ravelry) is passionate about yarn and fascinated by the process of transforming a long string of yarn into beautiful garments. She knits mostly garments choosing interesting construction, new techniques and great yarns. Knitting is for her not only a passion but also a refuge where the calming clicking of the knitting needles spawns the most unexpected train of thought. She likes trying to pass all her knitting knowledge to adventurous beginners and open-minded experienced knitters.
