Goin Up North!

With my portfolio coming together (the above is a new illustration, hot off the press!) I am getting rather excited about being able to return up North as often as I like over the next few months! Bring on the Black Pudding, flat caps, pigeon sheds and Yorkshire puddings. I cannot wait to see my pet ducks, my brother and of course, Victor!



I've even bought another knitting machine & ribber to keep up there so when I return I can still knit, as the past few weeks since the show - although have been exciting - have made me itching to get knitting once again! But what will I be knitting you ask? You'll have to wait and see..!

Replacing Knitting Needles for Pritt Stick and Crayons!

At the moment I'm currently spending my days with colouring pencils, paper and scissors, cutting out and putting together things for my portfolio. Its quite nice as I haven't had chance to sit down and do this for a while and I forgot how much I enjoy it!



Although it does feel a bit odd NOT to be knitting.. and as I miss it, i've been thinking of getting some more guineapigs on the go in the next few weeks, in addition to launching my shiny new website so keep your eyes peeled for that. By the way, feel free to get in touch and say hello and let me know who you are out there - it would be nice to hear from you!

Slow Knitting

The lovely Jojo caught Slow Loris in the act, enjoying the Nigel guineapig jumper a little bit too much! I think it suits him.

If you haven't seen Slow Loris before then you should have a look at him below!

Guineapigs in Windows!

After being part of the Gala show at Graduate Fashion Week, I was contacted by River Island to say they would like to put my collection on display in one of their shop windows for a week after recieveing a special mention in the awards ceremony. And here it is!











So if you fancy going to have a look at some knitted guineapigs, pigeons, foxes and ducks then you should head over to Westfield shopping centre in Shepherds Bush where they are all currently enjoying themselves in the River Island store until the 19th of June!

Drown me in knitting!

Here's a sneaky peek of the photoshoot that took place last Friday in
Hackney with the very first of my collection pieces that I have made so far. More to follow soon!

Run for cover..

I'm itching to get this beast going on my needles in the next few weeks. It's going to be one heck of a sweater!

Hello, Bee

Sorry for the lack of updates recenty! I've been in a bit of a busy busy world, knitting knitting knittting! I am indeed a busy bee.

I DID however make time to see some friends last night, and we played Scrabble. As you can see, we are not very good, especially by the end when we could only make 'so' and 'by'. There were some minor discrepencies over some words, however on the whole it was a good match, and I came 3rd with 117 points.

For some exciting news, back in January applied to do the Menswear MA at the Royal College of Art in September, specialising in Knitwear.. and last Wednesday I found out that I've been offered the place! So the next two years will be filled with more knitting delights, exciting hey?

Now time for more tea and to get the knitting needles out!
