I started designing crochet and knitting patterns due to family requests for handmade items that I have been unable to find patterns for on Rav. I love to design knitting and crochet patterns that are cute, quirky, original and fun, as well as being interesting to make and stylish. I’m inspired by the beautiful Yorkshire Pennine scenery where I live and I enjoy being surrounded by beautiful crafts in my home. I started designing in 2011.
