Hello and welcome!

I hope you'll spend a few moments exploring my site, where you'll find handknit originals galore. Each piece comes as a kit, a pattern or readymade, carefully crafted by one of my studio knitters. There's music, knit poetry (check out Knitbits), lectures, our 2008 UK knitting and gardens tours ...and much more!

Recently I've been working furiously on a series of new pattern books for Araucania, a Chilean yarn company who choose sumptuously soft yarns, then kettle dye them to produce amazing colourways to die for. The first, Wandering Spirits, is now in the stores. To celebrate the spring, there's a new free pattern, BAHIA, a quick-knit vest from the book. Click here to preview more designs. Enjoy!

Knit on!
