About the Author
I am obsessed by crochet & colour, my main aim in life is to produce innovative designs which will excite and inspire you to pick up a hook.
I make blankets as they give me a big canvas to experiment with colour and shape on.
I spend my days writing patterns and sitting with a hook in my hand, a lap full of yarn and a head buzzing with new ideas for blankets.
I live and work in a tiny house in a small village, perched high on a sea cliff on Exmoor, Devon, UK living in such a amazingly beautiful place inspires and influences a lot of my work.
I self publish most of my patterns and sell them on-line as pdf's on Etsy, Ravelry, craftsy and Love Knitting.
In the very near future I am planning on adding some of my sample blankets for sale in my Etsy shop.
