I love to walk by the sea, make things with the kids (every day is set up as if it is a rainy day here) walk the dog, look at amazing things either at art shows or strange little markets, obsessively visit this indie cafe by me called Picnic to eat cake and sometimes sleep.

I love to knit freestyle but can follow a pattern, I am inspired every single day, my head hurts sometimes as there are so many ideas and my sketch books are full of potential waiting to come out. I am inspired by films, books, everyday life, paintings I see, people I meet, often things I make are inspired by one specific person. I have a collection of objects I find and my house is wheezing at the sides full with odd things that I love so I just get to look around sometimes and make something new. Random inspirations before have come from Mork (from Mork and Mindy), Johnny Rotten form the Sex Pistols, Joan of Arc, Bridget Riley, Pippi Longstocking and Johnny Depp ala Edward Scissorhands so an eclectic mix from an often mis-spent youth.

I’m from a family of knitters, that’s just the way it is
