Making all the things in Halifax, Nova Scotia!

About Me…

Hello! My name is Claire, and I bloody love making things!

I’m originally from the North-West of England, but I now live in Nova Scotia with my husband and two ginger dogs, Tilly and Sprout. and I love to make things! I especially love to knit, and I’ve been creating woolly goodness for over twenty years, which means I’ve made a lot.

But do you want to know a secret?

I hardly wore the things I made. I’d pour my heart into projects that, although beautiful, never found a place in my wardrobe because they just didn’t feel like me. Do you know what I mean?

You see, I'm what they call a "process knitter"…

…someone who revels in the joy of creating rather than chasing the result, so at first, it didn't bother. But as time wore on, frustration crept in.

I had a closet full of knits that, while lovely, didn't resonate with who I truly am and left me confused about what I wanted to wear. I wanted to make things that felt like…well, me!
