About me

My website opens in new window

I'm a German Irish designer, living in the west of Ireland. With each of my designs, you'll find that the instructions are easier than you think when you see the finished project. My patterns are all about gently stretching your abilities to discover new techniques. Let's face it, our lives are hectic and stressful enough, there is no reason why the time we spend on our knitting should add any more to that.

More about me:

Most or all of my patterns (where applicable) have the following inclusivity features:

  • Low vision accessible and include a large print version either automatically or on request
  • Colour blindness accessible i.e. does not exclusively use colour to convey information
  • Charted and written instructions
  • Languages other than English

How to get in touch with me: I can be best reached via email or through Instagram DM.

Can you share my images (attributed, with no edits): Yes
