I'm busy updating my site after a long break from knitting initially due to an arm injury, then starting and running a tearoom with my husband. My arm is back to normal and we've just sold the tearoom, so I've picked up my needles again. I'm soooooooo excited to be knitting.
So far I've added a linen stripe baby blanket.
My current project is a rainbow striped baby blanket which I hope to include before the end of the week. Yarn delivered this morning.
I've also moved! From the southern tip of Africa, right up to the north and am living on the west coast of Scotland. Big changes. It's beautiful.
I'll be updating all my details to reflect my move in due course, because all I want to do is knit. And that's what I'm about to do!
Bye for now Lynn
Old profile...
I am a graphic designer who left the big city in search of my fortune. (Actually I just really wanted to live in the countryside.)
I have recently settled in Napier in the Overberg (near the bottom, most Southern tip of Africa) and apart from discovering the joys of no traffic and growing your own vegetables, I have had time to indulge my passion for knitting.
It all started a long time ago when I decided to knit a cover for my ageing washing machine. I loved the result so much, that I experimented with various patterns and wools and shapes and sizes; using knitting as a functional art form. It opened up a whole world of possibilities, but back then I still had a day job and knitting took a back seat.
So when I found myself sitting on my porch staring at the cows in the valley, I decided it was time to knit in earnest. I now knit in a thoroughly contemporary way using a chunky Aran style and do winter “jerseys” for ottomans and armchairs, funky cross-shaped scatter cushions and pretty much anything that takes my fancy.
When I started out, I needed a label in a hurry and being fairly remote, I didn't know where to go to. I decided to use what I have and that's why you will see a little red knitted tag on each of my products.
If you would like to know more, order a bespoke piece or chat about the merits of being woken by chickens in the morning, please give me a shout.
