Crafting for Charity
I started knitting when I was a teenager. It was inevitable as my mum has always knitted, sewn, crocheted and tatted. I loved learning from her and have now 40 years experience. I have always knitted for friends and family and especially enjoyed knitting for new babies.
I now have two lovely boys of my own and have just retired from a career in finance.
With more free time, I have turned my hobbies into something other people may enjoy too. I opened my first shop on Etsy in 2014 selling beaded jewellery, but am now focusing on knitting, crochet and painting. I crochet blankets for the fantastic London based charity Knit for Peace.
All the money made from sales from my Etsy shop go to charity. I support my local hospice called Mountbatten Hampshire and every penny makes a difference to them.
It is very important to me that my buyers are 100% happy with their purchase, so please talk to me if there is anything that isn't quite right.
