Hi, I'm Helen, and I'm a Knit-o-holic

I am a British knitter currently transitioning into writing my own patterns and developing my own designs, alongside my husband James who does all my knitting photography, illustration, web design, and also a bit of pattern conception.

I started knitting in 2008, but really got the bug in knitting 12 sweaters in 2012 and have kept momentum up ever since. Every year I set challenges to broaden my knitting knowledge and in 2014 the goal was to start designing patterns with James.

We have two cats who seem to enjoy getting involved in the process - Mischief and Smudge, I'm sure you'll find them "helping" in various photos over the years!
