I publish all my patterns on dyslexic friendly backgrounds as I, myself, am dyslexic. I like to include this to make knitting more inclusive because I believe that knitting and knitwear is for everyone! Thatās also one of the reason youāll see so many different models in my photos. I started knitting in 2018 during the holidays, but I got really obsessed after I was in a car crash and lost my job
as a primary school teacher due to injuries. Knitting saved my brain and I hope it can help others too. Because I have now have SUNCT and cognitive difficulties I try to channel that into my patterns; knitting for people like me and people who have other difficulties. Iāll think about which seam will work well for those with sensory needs, Iāll think about what pattern will be best to keep the wind off my face and ears and Iāll think about what kind of gloves will help me tell left from right. My knitting patterns are my own little corner of the world that help in my fight for inclusivity and how to stay well. I hope they help you to do this too, or that you just enjoy how they look! Either way, everyone is welcome here and Iām very pleased to meet you.
