Armed with 7 yearsexperience as a knitwear designer and my "degree in knitting" (something I am often teased about, although officially it was a BA(hons) in Knitted Textiles, but hey!) I founded'smitten' where I create handmade, contemporary knits for babies and children thatare fun, colourful and knitted with love!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br />Since then, smitten has developed, the range now includes comfort blankets and Ihave many ideas for new products to broaden the smitten collection (but more on thatin later posts!) The aim of my blog is to not only share this evolving journey andgive an insight into the way I work, but also to tell you about the things thatinspire me and the things that I love.<br /><br />I would love to hear your thoughts on my posts, please feel free to contact meor comment on anything that tickles you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3834726285790616982-6765570676187380582?l=smittenknits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>smittenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16557156026569714491noreply@blogger.com1
