Madam Tricote Yarns

Madame Tricote is an innovative knitter who has exhibited in many exhibitions. A psychiatrist by profession,she has experienced the therapeutic effect of knitting. The rhythmic, bilateral, repetitive activity, associated with the complex cognitive process, is one of the best therapeutic tools to treat trauma. Her slogan is, "I knit, therefore I am. I am, therefore I knit.“

For beginning knitters, learning a new skill activates the brain cells and increases the number of synaptic connections inside the brain, even for older people. The adage „use it or lose it“ applies to the brain as well as the muscles. Learning a new skill can keep the brain active and minimizes age-related decline.

As a diversion to medical practice, she discovered and perfected knitting as an art form. Madame Tricote loves to push boundaries, all the while never breaking them. She loves humor and kitsch, the macabre, and the interestingly ambiguous. She specializes in 3D objects and her work has been seen in several exhibitions in Switzerland.
