Madder began as feelings. Cozy. Comfort. The tactile appeal of textiles seemed, for me, directly linked to these two valuable sensations. Madder then became a place, a home for coziness and comfort to nest and be apart of my everyday.
About me {Carrie Bostick Hoge}: I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Photography and worked in the field for various magazines and photographers before leaving NYC. After moving around a bit, I landed in Portland, Maine, where my interest in knitting grew. Working in the mill for The Fibre Company and as a stylist for Interweave Knits, I quickly realized that knitting would dominate my focus and lead me in a new (and wonderful) direction. Now, I work out of Fort Nest, a small studio in my backyard. Here, I am able to integrate my knitting, photography, and design interests for both Madder and Quince & Co.
