Knitting with Heart and Story. Welcome to Viswijf.


A woman with curly hair, dressed in a green dress, stands on a staircase in a modern setting and smiles at the camera. She carries a black bag and holds a book.

Welcome!

I’m Isabelle. Knitter, pattern maker, storyteller, and a quirky fishwife.

At Viswijf, it’s not just about what you make, but what you carry with you. Every sweater I design starts with a memory, a longing, a feeling that lingers.

Viswijf is a place where knitting and life intertwine. Where love counts stitches, anger softens edges, sadness becomes wool, and self-love slowly unfolds like a sweater that finally fits.

I believe a sweater can be more than just a piece of clothing. Sometimes it’s armor. Sometimes a hug. And sometimes just a delightful playful escape from the day. I knit with wool, but also with my heart.

Viswijf is my ode to slowness, to connection, and to courage. Because why shouldn’t we just be ourselves โ€“ with rough edges, warmth, humor, and a touch of drama?

Welcome to my world. Sit down, grab your knitting needles, and tell me your story, because at Viswijf you can just be yourself: cheerful, playful, gentle, and imperfect. Here you knit yourself, move a stone for yourself, and weave your story into mine.
