Beatriz Ulloa: "I always carry my work on my back."

Let's get to know a little more about Beatriz Ulloa (@beatrizui), a knitter lover who started as a beginner and, by following tutorials, became so passionate about knitting that she always carries her projects with her. Now she creates her own designs and innovates with new creations. This is a story that shows us that with passion and dedication, there are no limits. Don't miss her interview!

• How did your passion for knitting begin?

I have always loved crafts. But in 2015, after learning the basics (knit and purl, yarn over...) through YouTube tutorials, and knitting a couple of scarves, I broke my ankle and was immobilized for a long time. While searching online, I discovered Pearlknitter, and since then I haven't stopped knitting. First with her courses and then, since 2016, by testing her patterns. For about a year and a half, I've embraced my creative side, and now I'm the one designing. With the help of the Knitter to Knitter service that Clara created on her page, I've gotten the necessary push to publish my patterns.

• Where do you get your inspiration from when creating your pieces?

From everything around me. Although most of the time, they are just ideas that come to mind when I see a specific fiber or color...

• What materials and techniques do you feel most comfortable with when knitting?

What I like most is knitting in the round and having to make as few seams as possible. I love brioche and also knitting openwork garments.

As for materials, I really like merino wool for winter and cotton for summer.

• What is your next project? What do you have planned for this summer?

Right now I'm designing a short-sleeved top with your Bambú Zen quality and openwork.

• What do you like most about knitting with Lanas Rubí?

That you have so many different qualities, which are ideal for one garment or another, so the possibilities for choosing are vast, and there is a wide range of colors.

• What is your favorite Rubí quality for this summer?

I like many, but I love Bambú Zen for its softness and drape. Plus, there are some beautiful new colors this summer.
