Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! I'm an intermittently passionate machine knitter who combines graphic design skills with knit technology to craft unique, warm wearables. My journey with machine knitting began in 1979 with the purchase of a Toyota Knitting machine. Within a few years, it was swapped out for a Brother electronic and this has been a cherished companion ever since. 

In my studio in my wooded garden in rural ABZ, I knit small batches of hats, wristwarmers, and cowls. Each piece is carefully hand-finished, hand-washed, and dried before it reaches my customers. My signature style for jumpers and cardigans is big, loose, oversized, and perfect for relaxed and comfortable wearing. The yarn I use is sourced from a Scottish mill only forty minutes away.

The Nerdy stuff

I'm eager to embrace the advancements in knitting technology that my hacked machine now allows. These days I can create digital patterns that are read directly from a laptop, eliminating the need for punchcards and pattern-repeat restrictions. This enables me to bring pixel/stitch designs to life without the minimal stitch constraints built into the patterning models from the 1980s.
