Val H

map-pin United Kingdom

I knit for my family, which takes me to Austria and Australia. I also knit for charity, mainly Knitted KnockersUK who provide bespoke prosthetics free of charge for mastectomy patients, Knit-for-Nowt, who make hand puppets for use in therapy with children, knitted blankets and children's clothes for Jacob's Well and Samara's Aid Appeal, and for good causes such as a knitivity for our church and village primary school. My favourite designers are Marie Wallin and Alan Dart. I love the detail and creativity both put into their work.
