My knitting story began about two years ago on a Thursday while cruising the My Creative Space blogs. There were all the usual crochet, screen printing, jewelry making, quilting, softie and sewing projects. And then I came across a blog with a post about this divine pink knitted cardigan.

I remember sitting and staring and that cardi for ages. I loved it. I wanted a cardi like that for one of my girls. But I was a crocheter and didn't know how to knit. So I left my adoring comment and clicked onto the next blog.

But I couldn't get that pink cardi out of my mind.

So later on that day, or maybe it was the next, I found my way back to Georgie's blog and spent ages trawling through her archives. Gazing at all her divine knitting patterns and imagining my girls wearing them.

And I decided then and there that I was going to learn how to knit.

And with the help of Georgie's beautifully written patterns and those wonderfully patient youtube women, that's exactly what I did.

Fast forward two years and according to my Ravelry project page, to date I have knitted 15 of Georgie's designs.

Over the past year and a bit I've been lucky enough to work as a pattern tester with Georgie which has been an amazing experience. I've learnt so much and been super inspired while watching her tweek her work, deal with the feedback and create these super cute kntting patterns.

Georgie's brand Tikki Knits is filled with wonderful patterns to knit. From the most basic scarf, to the more complicated cardigan. Her patterns are so easy to follow with loads of pictures and explanations and interesting details. There are Tikki patterns for boys and for girls and for dolls and for babies and for women. There are vests and hats and scarves and legwarmers and jumpers and cardis and skirts.

In her own words... My patterns are seamless, deceptively simple and surprisingly quick to knit.


I am such a huge fan.
