I love using different colours and textures in my knitting.
I've been knitting as long as I can remember.
I had a serious illness , then major surgery in February 2022 and resumed knitting after a 15 month lay-off in July 2022. Since then , there is rarely a day goes by without me knitting or crocheting.
I hope to continue designing my own stuff too. I'm also making and design/making bags which I hope to begin selling soon.
When I'm designing,I think about how I want the garment to look and feel so I think about my choice of yarns and colour palette as well as what stitches work best.I want it to be something that looks good, is comfortable and that women would like to wear.
