Hi and Welcome!

Thanks for dropping by.
I knit and felt bags-very tiny ones, lots of middle sized and some quite large shoulder bags.
I design them all, I love to work with sculptural curves, seamless bags are certainly my thing.
Oh and I love colour too! blending and combining yarns as I go....

hmmmm good question, I'm never sure how to describe myself. I vary between crafter and designer/maker but never feel that either really "fits" If I'm trying to impress I call myself a textile artist!

How To Knit and Felt- Yarn stash confusion?

My latest blog is a guide to testing out which of your yarns are pure wool and so suitable for felting and which are not.
I have many balls of yarn which are vintage or have been given me- So often they have lost the information band around them, which can mean disapointment when it comes to felting the finished item.

Love your stuff. I've just started felting and love it - so therapeutic what with all the rolling and throwing! I've just got my students at school (textiles teacher) into it and we're making a felted landscape at the moment. Your bags are just gorgeous.
