WELCOME

Welcome to my website. I am an independent Knitwear and Crochet Designer. I have been knitting and crocheting most of my adult life. I also sew and make most of my own clothes. This website will be dedicated to my knitting and crochet work. My patterns have been published in Simply Crochet, Simply Knitting, and Let's Knit magazines.

I also run workshops at Wool Bath.

just another day at @woolbath. One of the problems I have every day. #shortpeopleproblems #shortpeople #lovemyjob #retailproblems #laugh

Got home today and received this lovely pressie through the post. It’s ‘Mindful Crochet’ written by @emmaleithatelier. So lucky to count Emma as one of my friends. I remember when I first met her. She burst into the shop @woolbath and filled the space with her exuberant presence, and lovely smile and it brightened my day. Am so chuffed to have received this. Am going to make all of these projects and probably a few more. It would make a wonderful gift for either a new crocheter or an experienced one. Jam packed with great makes. #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetersofig #handcrafted #mindfulness

wearing this lovely sample today at work @woolbath. I love this 😍😍😍. @storeymartin, ‘Wedgewood’, Rowan mag 63. Really want to make it, but when will I get the time #knitting #knittersofinstagram #loveknitting #knittersofig #handcrafted. #rowanhandknitcotton

My jumper on the cover of the latest issue of @theknittermag. Am over the moon. It’s not the first cover for me though. I was on the cover before only it was for a design I been commissioned to make for a yarn company and I wasn’t named. So long ago now. It was lovely working with Debbie Bliss yarn again. My favourite. #debbieblissknits #loveknitting #handcrafted #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #independentdesigner #creative #lovemyjob

I am in the middle of writing a pattern for the Granny Square Jumper. Not my favourite thing, which is weird coz I used to work as a pattern compiler for the lovely @debbieblissknits and I found that easy. When it comes to my patterns I put it off and put it off. Also as an ex smoker, when I came to a tricky part I would go in the garden and light up. That was years ago and now I stop and make some toast or a sandwich. Which is awful. I used to be thin but now I am a fat little dumpling, but least I am healthy. Ha ha. Does anyone have the same problem. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handcrafted #independentwoman #independentdesigner #knittingpattern

We should all be proud of the young people in the west country who took a day off school to demonstrate about Climate change. I grew up in the 70s which was a time when you could demonstrate to make your views felt. It does make a difference. #climatechange #youngvoters #nextgeneration #youngpeople #climatechangeisreal

Love to all. Three hearts are better than one(is that shakespeare or eric morecombe, close call). Am treating myself and making this gorgeous jumper by @deehardwicke for Rowan. The pattern is in ‘Colourwork Knits’. The book is full of wonderful designs. I usually hate intarsia, because I am a bit pants at it, but I read some tips online and I am really pleased with the result. Might make the boyfriend jumper next. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handcrafted #intarsia #rowanfeltedtweed
