Lorna says:
“I have been lucky to have been taught how to knit by my Mum and grew up with my Mum and my Nan both being avid knitters. I find knitting extremely thereapeutic and it can get quite addictiuve! It is more portable than sewing so I love to be able to take a project on holiday with me and relax whilst getting stuck into a project. It’s a wonderful skill that you must learn and pass on to others!”
