Helen S

map-pin Essex, United Kingdom

I run a Painting decorating business and very creative. Knitting was a passion of mine since a child, however, after a long break, I have picked up the needles again and have found this wonderful website. I love colour mixes, currently knitting a cable sweater using Lang Elena, a beautiful yarn. I do prefer to use natural fibres, my next project with be a nice crisp 100% cotton summer top. I do like to use unusual yarns, especially those that have colour blends and irregular textured fibres, rather like Rowan Biggy Print, sadly now discontinued.
