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.

Follow me on Instagram. Here are some of my posts

There are a couple of places left at the sock workshop. Where:@woolbath. When: Friday 14th June, 10.30 - 4.30. We provide the needles, yarn and lunch. The cost is £78. The best part is you get to spend the day with ‘modest me’. You will taught by the zen master of knitting, and if she can’t turn up, you will just have to put up with me. There will be lots of laughter and tea, plus you learn the art of makings socks. #knitting #sockknitting #knittedsocks #loveknitting #handcrafted #knittingworkshops #lovemyjob #knittingteacher

I have been busy working on commissions so haven’t posted much lately. I did get to finish this dress which I started last year. It’s a combination of Sunset Highway yoke by @boylandknitworks Caitlin Hunter and #stilllighttunic by Veera Valimaki. #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knittingpatterns #loveknitting #sunsethighwaysweater

I don’t usually comment on racism but I am so angry. The arrogance of Danny Baker is appalling. To say he was ignorant of the context of his tweet was disgusting and then to blame the BBC for overreacting by firing him just proved his overwhelming arrogance. To be honest something like this will never surprise me. Like everyone who has ever been affected by racism, I have been expecting the evil comments regarding Harry and Megan. No matter how far we think we have come as a society, with regard to Racism, let’s not be naive enough to think we haven’t got a very, very long way to go. #endracism #diversity #stopracism #humanrace

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

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
