Bio
I was taught the basics of knitting by my mum when I was 8 ish. As a teenager I bought a pattern, needles and wool. I had to do a lot of un picking and re knitting the first time I followed a pattern.
When my children were small I started knitting for others for "pin" money. As the children grew I bought a small wool shop. I called it "Knitwits", I notice now there are lots of wool shops called that!
I started designing and writing my own patterns then and had a very good following. Sweatshirts and busy mum's saw the decline in hand knitting.
I have been designing and knitting for friends and family for the last 40 years, with the increased interest in hand knitting I have started putting some of my fun ideas into print and designing patterns again. I called myself "Knits r us" this time.
