Personal statement

I have always been a creative soul, often with some sort of craft on the go. My main passion is knitting and fibre crafts, I dye my own yarn, write my own patterns and have quite a lot of hand-knit shawls, socks and hats.

Outside of work I’m a keen gardener, I live in a very urban setting with no land so I have inadvertently become an expert on all things small space gardening. Since moving to Christchurch I have enjoyed exploring all the walking tracks and nature on my doorstep.
