I guess I should start with hello!

I guess the first thing I should do is say hello and introduce myself. My name is Alice, and I am Arty Crafty Alice!

I thought it was probably appropriate to include a picture of myself if I was going to introduce myself, but it turns out I do not have many photo’s of me that don’t include my kids, so I have gone with this very fetching image that my son took of me getting stuck in a tree when we went for a walk while camping last year. I think it sums me up quite well actually!

I find these sort of introductions a bit tricky, I’m not sure what to say or what anyone will find interesting so I am going to keep it short and sweet. I am from the UK, I am married and I have two amazing kids, and two cats. I have dodgy joints and my knees like to surprise dislocate just for fun every now and then, so to explain the picture I sometimes use a walking stick for that reason! I love Halloween and horror and everything spooky and my absolute favourite place to be is camping with my little family.

I have knitted since I was a teenager and started pattern design around 2016. I love knitting. I love the challenge and the creative expression that coming up with a new design gives me. I have tonnes of ideas for new projects and loads planned for the new year, and now with my shiny new website I have somewhere to keep them all together.

So, I think that is it for an introduction, hopefully you will stick around and try out some patterns and get to know me as my website and blog grow.

Bye for now, and happy knitting!
