Day one of the Shawlrats blog!
I love to knit shawls and scarves for myself and others. I've had a couple of patterns published so far in Knit Today magazine, with more to come in the future.http://www.knit-today.co.uk/.
My published career began purely by chance, when I met the magazine editor through a mutual acquaintance. She saw one of my scarves and asked for the pattern - the rest is history. It's been a steep learning curve for me, but one which I'm enjoying. So far, I've had the scarf published and also a pattern for a wedding stole (see above).

I have just sent off a sampler scarf for future publication.
I love to knit lace - nothing too complex - my aim is to make my patterns accessible to the moderately skilled knitter. Having to write up instructions has made me realise the importance of attention to detail. I've become very critical of the way in which some patterns are written and how often mistakes can be found in them. As I go along in the blog, I'll highlight any I come across in published patterns. I also hope to direct you to some of my favourite blogs and websites.
I eat, breathe and sleep knitting and hope you do too!
