I love using different colours and textures in my knitting. I've started knitting again after a long time and really enjoying finding new patterns and yarns.
I've been knitting as long as I can remember. I've knitted everything from Dr Who scarves to balaclavas, baby clothes to jumpers with bold geometric patterns, but only recently started to knit shawls. Who knows what I'll try next.
In March 2021 I began to learn how to crochet, and have a few projects planned.
I had a serious illness , then major surgery in February 2022 and resumed knitting after a 15 month lay-off in July 2022. Since then , there is rarely a day goes by without me knitting or crocheting. I hope to continue designing my own stuff too. I'm also making and design/making bags which I hope to begin selling soon.
