Get to know us

As a child, my mom owned a small yarn shop and was a prolific knitter, something she has passed onto me. I am now based in a very rural part of the North Pennines, in Cumbria and am surrounded by sheep, which has made me even more passionate about the use of British Wool, which comes through in my spinning, knitting & crochet workshops. You can learn more about them at Moorland Handmades. I have even graced our TV screens twice - once as part of a segment promoting British Wool on Joe Lycett's "Got Your Back" and then teaching Robson Green to spin on his BBC2 "Weekend Escapes" programme.

As a Technical Editor, with over 40 years experience in knitting, and as a pattern designer myself, I can help you ensure that your patterns are as accurate and technically perfect as possible.

I am all about helping designers spend their time doing what they love, by taking all the technical work off their plate. Services include: proof reading/formatting, maths check, yarn check & a measurement check. Additionally, I can complete pattern grading and yarn calculations, if required. As a pattern designer myself, I am happy to discuss any writing support you might need. I have access to most design software, including Stitchmastery and Stitch Fiddle.

I have completed the comprehensive technical editing course, run by the experienced and renowned Carol Ibbotson. I am also a member of the Knitting & Crochet Guild.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss your requirements further or if you have any questions about my services. Book your free 15 minute call to see if I am the right Tech Editor for you.
