Vincent Deslandes, or “Delz” as his friends liked to call him in high school, is the maker behind Designs by Delz and Dyed by Delz (collectively @by.delz on Instagram). Whether he’s creating complete and precisely written patterns or dyeing yarn, or just in his everyday life, Vincent is very technique-oriented, and always asks himself the same question: “What is best way of doing this?” He hopes his patterns will appeal to knitters of all age, gender, size and skill levels. Vincent lives in Montreal, Canada, with his partner Max (@maxtheknitter on Instagram) and their crazy—but SO adorable—miniature pinscher, Lola.
