Hi, I am a crafter, creator of knitting patterns and author of A Year in Woolly Wonders, A woollyful Christmas, and Worn and Wild.
My love of crafting started when I was young, spending hours learning to knit with my nan. At the same time I developed a love of the countryside and all the wonderful creatures that inhabit it. Growing up I spent many hours walking through woodland in both Germany and the beautiful Shropshire countryside.
Now my own children have left home and embarked on their own journey through life, I have combined my love of knitting and the countryside to create the patterns for my wonderful woodland creature keepsakes.
As well as writing the patterns, I make the creatures to sell both on-line at www.bearsandthebea.co.uk and at craft fairs, as well as using them as the basis for the designs on a collection of greetings cards and postcards.
You can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Ravelry
