Christine R

map-pin Preston, United Kingdom

I first started knitting to furnish my dolls house and later moved on to cuddly animals. I gave up knitting for many years after that in favour of other crafts until recently when I retired and reverted to my first love of knitting cute animals. I knit for for adults who like memories of childhood, especially bears, puppies, kittens, and rabbits and the occasional quirky cushion.
I love searching for unusual fur and textured yarns to incorporate in my knitted animals and you can see how I do this by visiting my shop www.handknithugsgb.etsy.com
