My musings on creative process, making and more.

Hello and welcome! I am Cat Goudouchaouri, working behind the scenes of One creative Cat.

I have always been making - I never stopped knitting since I learned as a child. I need the soft fiber touch, I love wearing things I make and seeing my knitting worn by others.

Knitting is a slow process, it's calming, a time to slow down, to pause, to stop racing and moving, a bit like a meditation. A time for reflection.

I discovered dyeing some times ago, curious about the process. Colour mixing takes me back to landscapes, flashbacks of long walks, beautiful panoramas of the Alps, where I grew up. Making something unique, coming from my heart, my memories, my family history of trekking and passion for the mountains.

Why choose natural fibers? I love the soft, colourful, infinite possibilities to make unique and original shapes and textures reflecting the natural world. It's like a trek up the mountain: slow and steady, a rythm, an unhurried climb revealing it all at the end, when you get to the top and you can admire it all, take in the view, and catch your breath.
