Helen B

map-pin Solihull, United Kingdom

I am newly retired and can now indulge my passion in all things creative. I have been knitting since I was a child - taught by my mother who was an expert knitter. With each project I do, I like to try a new skill and at the moment I'm learning how to make dolls and toys. My favourite skill so far is entrelac which I find fascinating, and the most challenging to me is lace knitting. The oddest project I have completed is to knit a striped V necked jumper sideways - that was fun, and the next skill that I have on my craft 'bucket list' is to learn how to crochet.
