Have fun trying different crochet stitch patterns and colour combinations during my Colourful Crochet Stitches short course.
Learn to knit a variety of cable stitch patterns starting with simple ones and moving on to a fancy braid.
Knit Now magazine has just been published the pattern for my Painterly shawl. It is a colourful asymmetric shawl. The colours and stitch patterns were inspired by brushstrokes in paintings by Van Gogh.
Knit Now magazine has just been published the pattern for my Rosalind sweater. Rosalind is a women's sweater which features a leafy lace panel on the front and back.
The Knitter magazine has just published the pattern for my Winchester sweater. Winchester is a men's sweater which features an allover cable stitch pattern inspired by Gothic cathedrals.
A day out to one of the many fibre and yarn festivals is great for your sense of well-being. You'll leave inspired ready to make something.
