Creature maker by day and knitter by night (plus most other crafts you can think of). I often shelve creative urges into my brain to live among the cobwebs and buttons – to be pulled out when the moment requires.

I guerilla knit to pass on a bit of wooly wonder onto the streets. Its all about making something, however big or small, and leaving it for someone else to find unexpectedly. If it makes a passer by smile, my mission has been achieved.

During the day I make things for tight deadlines, for other people and usually not from my own design. By being a knit graffiti artist I spend hours over making something that I love, to then simply tie it up and leave it for someone else. I dont know if they’ll love it, I dont know if they’ll steal it for themselves or leave it be. In fact I dont really mind. There is something very liberating about that.

Making stuff that I dream up seems to keep the madness at bay.
