Book '30 Years in the Making'

In 2016, I produced a book '30 years in the Making' to celebrate being a maker/designer and running a successful business for 30 years. It also celebrates the very talented photographers I have worked with alongside their photos of my work. Throughout the years I have sold worlwide and worked with a creative team of craft knitters, many of whom are Textile post graduates, who have helped me produce my knits to a very high standard and I have specialist yarn suppliers who dye my yarns for me.

Vintage sweater circa 1989, Simon Farrell and Penny Burdett

Black and Cream has always made a statement and this sweater is one of my classics that could still be quite happily worn today!
