It all started with my mother teaching me at the age of nine to knit my Barbie a colourful scarf. I design all my own patterns starting with a drawing and transferring it to graph paper then to knitting needles. I hand knit, machine knit and do some appliqué embellishment. I am passionate about my products looking handmade and hand finished. I aim for each item to be durable and long lasting, cared for they should last a life time. I am meticulous over how each piece looks and feels.
Knitting has been my constant companion and passion for many years. I have been inspired by many amazing designers and artists including Paul Klee, Mondrian, Julie Arkell, Patricia Roberts and Orla kiely.
I prefer to work with natural yarns including wool, alpaca, cotton and mulberry silk. To take a simple, natural material and turn it into something that gives me and others so much joy always amazes me. I never get fed up with experimenting and designing new knitwear. It makes me very happy to think of all the people I have knitted for over my lifetime and how wonderful they look when wearing my creations.
