Knitting/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer questions on all types of knitting on needles (ie not loom knitting) including Fairisle, intarsia, lace and basic knitwear design. I can also answer on crochet, including tapestry crochet, but I do not have sufficient knowledge of toys or stuffed animals to call myself an expert.

Experience in the area

I've been knitting and crocheting for over 35 years. In that time I have made a variety of items, incorporating a range of stitch techniques and have designed my own garments. I have had patterns published in the UK (crochet and knitting) and teach both crafts.

Hi Clare. Thanks for your question (there's no such thing as a silly question, so please don't feel you have to apologise for asking - that's what we're here for and nobody wants a pooh bear with a
