Textiles of all kinds are my inspiration in life. Currently I am back with machine knitting which I am felting and cutting, stitching and embroidering. I have recently tried to incorporate crochet. Its an ever changing journey which I have been on for many years!

New Dolls for Knit and Stitch at Ally Pally
I have been working with the templates from the original book to design some new dolls and changing the techniques. For the foxy figure I have reduced the trophy head pattern down to fit an 17" figure. This could be worked upon to greater effect when I have a bit more time then one day to prepare and make him. The other woodland spirit figure - is actually a composite of various body parts I had in my workroom which I have painted on with acrylics and a stipple brush to give a unified look. Add a bit of silk tulle ( donated by my bridal designer friend) and also a scarp of beautiful silk lace (same source) and some chopped ribbing and there we are! Great Fun.
