About Me
Welcome to Brambles and Bindweed. I design knitting and crochet patterns, and offer technical editing for knitting patterns.
I’ve been knitting, crocheting and sewing on and off for as long as I can remember. A little bit creative, but daunted by a blank page, I like working within the constraints provided by the maths behind knitting and crochet. I especially like the puzzle of translating intricate patterns into knitted fabric. And, as a bonus, you get something both beautiful and practical at the end of the process.
Other than being out in the wilds on top of a hill, I’m at my happiest when I’m busy, yarn in hand, sitting in the garden and listening to my two young boys playing. I’d like to say that when I look up from the crafting that I survey a scene of horticultural perfection, with beautiful flowers and plump vegetables and fruit. I do try hard, but mostly I am best at cultivating brambles and bindweed.
