Who is Bella?
What a great question! There are two answers… 1. The name Bella — which means beautiful in Italian — was influenced by one of our founder’s husband. He is from Sardinia, Italy and is the Executive Chef at one of our most popular restaurants in Coronado (Il Fornio). If you ate at his restaurant you would be thinking in Italian too! 2. There is also ‘Bella’ the designer. Many Bella Knitting patterns are designed internally. It’s a team effort: we meet to discuss current trends, optional design elements, skill levels and the needs of our knitting customers. Knitting the sample is just the beginning, writing a good pattern takes almost as long and is edited by several people. For us, Bella represents the fun and creativity of our collaborative effort.
