Please note: Due to accessibility issues I can no longer offer pattern support via Ravelry. If you have a query about a pattern, please come over to my website and contact me via the contact form at the bottom of this page where I will be only too happy to help you.

All my patterns are available at my Payhip Store - from which you can download your patterns as many times as you need.

Similarly you can access my patterns via LoveCrafts

All patterns listed as ‘free’ here are being updated and made available solely from my website

My website or Instagram are the best places to keep up with new patterns, promotions and news.

All users deserve safe online spaces and for their needs, experiences and concerns to be taken seriously by those who provide them.
I’m sorry that Ravelry has not been able to provide such a space and has minimised and dismissed users’ concerns.

I live in Siena, Italy with my partner, 2 rescue dogs and a rescue cat. These companions enrich my life immeasurably, bringing great joy and plenty of exasperation; I’ll leave you to decide which brings which. For their part they often see me disappearing into my stash of yarn, vintage patterns, textiles and haberdashery, often to the sound of ‘ah’ ‘ooh’ and ‘argh’ as pretty and precious items are either rediscovered or declared ‘lost’.

My designs are influenced by the south coast I grew up on and the north west coast on which I now live. My love of mountains leads to summer road trips and much hiking in Europe. These landscapes influence how I think about colour, form and structure, and function and wearability. However, I also love the built environment and how we can build striking design into our everyday lives through mindful consideration of the spaces we inhabit. This too, I aim to capture in my designs, inspired by often fleeting experiences and lasting memories.
