I learnt to knit in primary school and have been knitting on and off ever since. Once I had children I also taught myself how to crochet in order for me to make them things. I love using natural fibres.
I have made a number of hats, scarves, gloves, headbands and toys for my children, myself and others that I know. I just wish that I had more time to spend on making things on my to do list.
I also enjoy photography, sewing, cake making/decorating.
