I was taught to knit by my grandmother when I was about 8 years old she bought me a wicker basket with 5 small balls of coloured yarn and a pair of plastic needles by the time she left to go home, I had knitted my first square (with holes of course!) that was my first attempt. My second attempt was better so I made a blanket with oddments of wool. We had it for years afterwards. By my teens I had knitted a few garments always improving as I went along and actually became the owner of my own wool shop for 10 years.
I have been knitting professionally for about 20 years trying all sorts of patterns and also making patterns myself. There are lots of beautiful yarns around today so I have put this website together so that I can use my expertise to knit for others. There are many patterns and lots of colours to choose from, so if you would like a garment made I will be only too happy to do this.
Garments in the shops today often do not fit properly perhaps too short in the sleeve or body or maybe too tight across the chest so the next size is too big. I can also alter patterns to fit any size.
Children and babies garments especially premature can be made. You can email me with your requirements, no job too small or even enquiries about yarns etc I will be only too happy to help with my expertise. I can also offer sewing up service and also finishing off the garment.
