Where it all began
My gran and my mum taught me to knit when I was little. I remember making a strange teddy bear from yellow wool and a small baby cardigan for my stuffed rabbit.
Knitting was something I picked up and dropped over the years, stopping almost entirely in my 30s – I was working hard, doing a lot of overtime, while also studying, trying to make my way as an accountant. I gained my qualification, promotions and pay rises only to find I was desperately unhappy and burnt out.

Only As Brave
Around this time, I discovered and taught myself to crochet. Crochet became my new yarn obsession, a comforting way to unwind after a stressful day.
After a lot of soul searching I left my position as an accountant and took my finance skills to an educational charity. Now I’ve found a place where I feel like I “fit” and I have more time and energy for exploring other interests* and a bigger life.

*Ok fine, by other interests I’m really just talking about designing crochet patterns and snuggling with my dog!
