I am, primarily, a hand-knitter having taught myself at the age of 8 and just gone on from there.

I’ve been a Guild member for more years than I care to admit to and have delivered talks for the Collection and run branch workshops.

My roles in the Guild include volunteering at the Collection, where I oversee the yarn sample and shade card archive, and being a Facebook administrator.
