Hello. I’m Cecily, and I’m a knitting addict. And I want to spread that to the nation! I have been knitting since I was 12, and show no signs of stopping. I have knitted jumpers, socks, scarves, hats, coasters, shawls, toys… you name it, I have knitted it. I am fond of the slightly quirky. I have been teaching knitting for six years, and love passing on my skills to any willing students, and it is a subject I am passionate about.

Why knitting? Well, first of all, it’s fun, and also relaxing. Perfect for those who are maybe a little bit stressed because it is an easily portable hobby, and can be done in a short time or a longer time depending on what you want to knit. Also, making things gives you a sense of achievement, and an outlet for your creativity. Knitting is recession-proof; all you need are some needles and some yarn. And it gives you the chance to make unique gifts for friends and family – handmade gifts are worth so much more than bought ones. Finally, you can knit and watch the TV at the same time. This hobby effectively eliminates slob-guilt!
