Started knitting when I was 25, but it didn’t last long. Couple of sweaters I think. I remember knitting a sweater for my mother which I thought was fabulous at the time. Looking back it was hideous and my mother was very tactful and gracious when accepting it.

Started again early 2011. Found Ravelry and it renewed my enthusiasm. Spent a few months buying other designers patterns, knitting them and learning as much as I could. There were still one or two disasters, but I can now say that my mother has a few gifts that I know she really likes.

Decided to try my hand at designing. Started with a scarf, then a shawl and truly loved the process of seeing something develop on my needles.

Ive been designing for “Knitting” magazine since July 2016.
