Some of you may know me from my work as a designer for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armyofknitters.com\/\">Army of Knitters<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulousyarn.com\/rowan.shtml\">Rowan<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulousyarn.com\/bigstitch_bagsmithbumps.shtml\">The Bagsmith<\/a>, or one of the other many yarn companies I have created patterns for. If not, then let me tell you a little bit about myself&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from near Nottingham in England, where I taught myself to knit, study Fashion Design, then graduate with a BA (Hons) in Knitwear Design from The Nottingham Trent University. After designing for many different companies in England, Italy and New York City, I ran away to the mountains of upstate New York to start my own design business. It is there where I stumbled across the headquarters of Fabulous Yarn and a wonderful relationship began.<\/p>\n<p>It is with a great deal of excitement that I announce my latest venture! I&#8217;ll have my own &#8220;corner&#8221; of the Fabulous Yarn website where I&#8217;ll be able to blog about all things yarnie! I&#8217;ll review yarns, accessories, books, gadgets, and everything to do with knitting and crochet. There will be knit-a-longs, crochet-a-longs, video tips and techniques, yarn and pattern recommendations, exclusive Fabyarns designs, and lessons. You&#8217;ll also be able to chat with me and join in with discussions about projects, yarns and my patterns.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to meet you all, so please leave me a comment telling me a little bit about yourself too. If you have any ideas on what you would like me to review or discuss, please let me know. We&#8217;re going to have so much FUN!!!<\/p>\n<p>See you all soon!<\/p>\n<p>Big Snogs!<\/p>\n<p>Heather xxxx<\/p>\n<p>(P.S. The hat I&#8217;m wearing in my little intro video is a new design of mine using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulousyarn.com\/bigstitch_bagsmithbumps.shtml\">The Bagsmith Merino Bumps<\/a>. I LOVE IT!!
