I am...Sunny, calm, creative,

Cool(says my daughter),

Amazing(says my wonderful husband),

A little bit wierd (say my friends)

Mostly happy (says ME)

I love felt!!

Knitting and felting ticks all my creative boxes. The wealth of shapes, colours and textures, that I can produce with felted knitting inspire me.

Spending time in my sunny studio with my Siamese cat and little dog for company whilst my hands are busy clicking the knitting needles, gives me time to plan new ideas, new patterns and new shapes!

Then of course, there is the excitement of washing my projects and seeing the magical transformation into thick soft felt.

In 2007 I started selling my knitted and felted bags at Craft and design events, in 2010 I was awarded a Creative business bursary from Creative Leicestershire. Soon after that I started selling my patterns for other knitters to enjoy.

I wrote my first knitting pattern in 2006, The “Charlotte” hand bag, and in 2013 I was invited to be a guest on Create and Craft shopping channel to demonstrate a knitting kit which featured that very same pattern!
