The Colourful Knit
Guildford, United Kingdom
I've always lived and worked with textiles...daughter of tailors and then a product developer for a jacquard woven textiles mill, I have dabbled in all sorts of textile forms over the years. I started crochet in 2013 and then delved into the wonderful world of knit soon afterwards....I haven't looked back since. I knit in every spare moment I have.
As of 2019 I design knitwear patterns and make project bags. I write about my work on my blog/website. I love community and friendships made through craft so am getting increasingly involved in my local knit and craft scene here in the UK.
