I love designing hand knitting patterns, from acessories to decorations. Here is a selection of my patterns available in the Woolly Brew yarn shop, Pittenweem, Fife, on Ravelry and from Di Gilpin.
All about how I design and make knits...
First of all, design... Starting with thinking, sketching and a little research, followed by a long cycle of swatching, evaluating, tweaking, re-swatching, trying a full size piece, going back to the drawing board and doing it all again and again until it's right.
