Meret Buetzberger, known as Butzeria.ch, embarked on a creative journey two decades ago that evolved from a personal escape to a thriving small business. What started as a recovery hobby after a car accident transformed into a passion for knitting, leading to the birth of unique designs and a venture into self-employment.

From Hobby to Business:

Initially knitting for friends, Meret realized the challenges of selling handmade items. The intricate work involved in crafting a single piece often went unrecognized. Determined to share her creations, she transitioned from selling finished products to designing and creating her own patterns.

Navigating Challenges:

One significant hurdle was translating her inherent knitting logic into understandable patterns. Meret addressed this by collaborating with a tech editor, enhancing the clarity and detail of her patterns. The meticulous approach ensures that even novice knitters can confidently bring her designs to life.

The Solo Entrepreneur:

Being a one-person business means Meret wears many hats – designer, knitter, writer, marketer, model, and photographer. Juggling these roles alongside motherhood and marriage is a testament to her dedication. In August, she took a bold step, leaving a stable job to fully dedicate herself to her passion.

Beyond Designs:

Meret’s business extends beyond patterns. She conducts workshops at yarn festivals, specializing in “double knitting,” a unique technique she passionately teaches. Her designs, ranging from rebellious punk collections to pieces inspired by Swiss heritage, reflect her diverse aesthetic.

Featured Designs:

–  Chornblüemli Schal (Cornflower Shawl):  Inspired by her childhood traditional costume, Meret beautifully integrates cornflowers into a heart-shaped shawl.

–  Punk Sweater:  A rebellious design born during the summer of 2020, seamlessly continuing the theme from Punk Socks, representing a perfect match with Kokonyarn.

–  Barbie’s Bad Day Sweater:  Reflecting the challenges of the pandemic, this design showcases Meret’s rebellious side, complemented by a unique colorway from Penny Lane Yarns.

–  Pizol Sweater:  Balancing the rebellious with the classic, Pizol, named after a Swiss mountain, is a cozy everyday winter sweater crafted from Gepardgarn’s fluffy “Puno” yarn.
