I have been knitting since I was 18. I had to learn the hard way and took me a while to follow a pattern because there was nobody to show me how to read a pattern. I have been knitting on an off since then. I work full time and have 2 children, I knit in whatever spare time I get!
I have knitted a shawl, baby booties, a baby bonnet, a few scarfs, a good few jumpers but only recently ventured into toy knitting and it has been a very big hit with work colleagues, family and friends. Everybody is harassing me for the giraffe.
I am also a keen jewellery maker. I work with semi-precious and glass beads (preferably antique).I have sold some of my work to work colleagues and I take requests for bespoke necklaces and earrings. I love working with and wearing pearls too.
Recently though knitting is taking all my spare time and I love to keep busy with that.
