I qualified as a doctor in 2005, then trained as an anaesthetist. I gave it all up in September 2009 when I realised that spending every minute of the day knitting was lot more fun and a lot less stressful. I am now much happier working as my own boss, designing and creating quality hand knits and teaching others to become as obsessive about knitting as I am. I’ve had patterns published in Knit Now, The Knitter and Knitty as well as self-publishing. I will be attending Yarndale and Fibre Flurry this year.
