I began knitting when I was a child but didn’t really get into it until I started university. My favourite thing to knit is probably cabled socks, but I like to try new things.
I started designing because I couldn’t find patterns that had the features I wanted. Then a new UK knitting magazine called for submissions on Ravelry and I thought, maybe I could do that, and had my first pattern published by Knit Now Magazine.
I’m just getting back into designing again after a break due to illness. Designing is something I can do at my own pace, that lets me stretch my brain and makes me happy. I hope to be able to continue publishing patterns and adding to my cabled sock collection.
