Artist statement
Born and brought up in Shetland, I was taught fair isle and lace knitting in primary school.
I have developed fair isle patterns for hats, cowls and gloves for my second NEOS show.
Feel free to bring along your knitting projects to show me.
Extended Bio
I grew up surrounded by knitting, my dad used to machine knit jumpers whilst my mum would hand finish them and add in the traditional fair isle yoke.
This was a source of additional income for our family. Knitting was taught in the primary school and was part of our heritage.
