Brisbane, Australia
I’m a writer, designer, technical editor and general fibre enthusiast.
Originally from South Africa I have nomadic tendencies and after knitting my way around the UK I am now working my way around Australia. We have just moved from Melbourne to Brisbane … Even though it is wonderfully warm up here, my needles are always clicking.
I’m truly passionate about all things fibre related (especially if it’s grey), knitting, travel and sunshine in equal measures.
I love everything about hand knitted socks, especially sock construction techniques. When I’m not knitting or designing socks I’m probably thinking about shawls and cardigans (grey of course), or gorgeous sheepy breed specific yarn
