Alison Ellen Handknits
Alison has run a small business designing and producing hand knits since the 1980s, dyeing her own yarns to produce a rich range of colours, and with interest in structure and texture. Having trained in textiles, she approaches knitting as a way of making a fabric and building a seamless garment, and enjoys the challenge of creating pieces to suit all shapes and sizes! She shares her ideas in the UK and abroad through exhibitions, lectures, teaching and her books, encouraging people to experiment with knitting and have confidence in exploring and designing.
