creative flow

Spinning, knitting, drawing and painting forms my creative practice. In this tumblr I will post my work, particularly Hut Socks- a hand spun and hand knitted sock made from pure New Zealand Corriedale and merino wools blended with silk for sheen.

Favourite project at this time of the year- my veggie garden. Quite a few bees in attendance. The challenge is how to keep up with produce.
