Needle Beetle patterns are wonderfully designed by Brenda Zuk of Manitoba Canada and brought to you to use for your new favorite colorwork, intarsia and lace project.

Brendas extensive gardens are home to the flowers and creatures that are the special inspiration for many of her knitted nature studies. She envisions the finished piece in her mind, working it out mathematically on paper long before the yarn and needles ever meet. The intarsia, lace and textural designs can then emerge from the needles, just as Brenda first saw them, to become the perfect portrait of a timber wolf or lacy butterfly.

She is an artist of many talents and has been drawing and painting for as long as she can remember. Combining that history with a degree in fashion design results in designs which are realistic, intricate, vibrant and honestly refreshing.

Enjoy looking through each pattern! Each one is wonderful!
