Maxim Cyr

Maxim Cyr (Max) has something of a dual personality: by day he is a childrens’ book author and illustrator, by night, he is a passionate knitter who launched his first pattern, the “For Fox Sake” sweater in December 2018. What he loves most is to insert one of his illustrations into a knitwear pattern which delivers a traditional look with a modern touch.
