North Walsham, United Kingdom
A happily retired nurse! Originally from Lancashire, moved from Wiltshire to North Walsham in Norfolk 5 yes ago. I have been knitting/crochet/embroidering forever. I love the indie designers and the wealth of designs available now. I have been inspired. I can make changes but not design. I love sock wools for their colours. I think handicraft people are excited by colour. I love to knit trendy baby garments and crochet gorgeous blankets. I have been lured by this site to venture over to the dark side into toy making. I now gave very arthritic fingers so not able to embroider anymore.
