Christiane Knight  is a self-taught fiber artist who blends knitting, crochet, weaving, and other textile traditions with a bold, modern approach to texture and color. Their work often combines natural elements—stones, metals, and plant matter—with hand-dyed wools and fibers to create both wearable pieces and home décor. Working in what has been called an Urban Mystic style, Christiane brings together the contemporary and the magical in each creation.   https://www.threeravens.net/about/ https://www.christianeknight.com/bio/
