NEW FOR WINTER 2024.......I will be offering a brand new series patterns for sale.

I love to design and make stylish accessories from my home workroom (also known as the good sitting room).I have always drawn and knitted since I was a child, I would save all of my pocket money until I had enough to buy odd balls of yarn or drawing materials.

I adore hats and I get a lot of pleasure in creating the most gorgeous hats for others to enjoy. I spend most days knitting and designing collections in my workroom, followed by evenings of knitting in front of the television. I have so many designs and collections in my head and I love knitting them into finished pieces. I love each finished item and I sometimes struggle to let them go to a new home.

When I'm not being creative I'm us working with my boarding dogs at Two Buddies Lanark, we are lucky enough to live in Lanark and we enjoy walking and exploring the local countryside and New Lanark.

I studied Interior Design at Glasgow College of Building and Printing. I have had a varied working career from Show Home/Private Clients Interior designer to running my own 4 star Bed & Breakfasts. For the past 20 years I have been a Retail Manager and Buyer for retail operations throughout Scotland and in recent years I was Retail Manager and Buyer at New Lanark World Heritage Site. Part of my job at New Lanark was the textile yarn operations whereby I managed and developed the yarn business. I developed a large range of goods using their yarn and I designed yarn colour shades which was very interesting and exciting. I also hosted knitting and needle felting classes that were always great fun and I would always pick up a new technique and skill after each one. The yarn/creative community is so varied and interesting and I'm now fortunate enough that I knit full time and I love it!

I opened my Folksy shop in October 2020, steadily developing a collection of stylish, easy to wear knitted accessories. I use bold and modern colour combinations and each item usually has a signature Pom Pom. I love making Pom Pom's and I can spend hours snipping and clipping until each one is a thing of beauty.

You can follow me on Instagram where I post work in progress, behind the scene photos and some pictures of the Two Buddies

You can be assured that all my products are made from quality materials with years of expertise and experience going into them. I designed the pattern for the New Lanark Tammy I own the Copyright and Patent for this product and I have the pattern available to buy in my shop. I use a varied selection of yarn and I try and use Pure Wool as much as I can. I use a lot of yarn produced in Scotland and I try and buy local where possible. I support small yarn producers as I like to offer a good variety of colours and textures. I have just received a new delivery of baby Alpaca yarn so watch tis space for new items being launched.

NEW FOR 2024.......I will be offering a brand new knitting patterns.

I listen to my customers and adapt my designs to meet their needs so if you have suggestions, colour choices and I'm happy to do commissions or personalised items. Please get in touch if you like my style and think I can help. I hold a large selection of yarn so if you have a preference for a particular shade or colour please get in touch and I can send some yarn samples to you free of charge.

Finally thank you for taking the time to read a bit about my story and I thank you for supporting my small business.

Stay safe and be kind to each other...………………..
