Author Biography

Jenny Occleshaw learned to knit, crochet, sew and embroider as a child, a time when she was encouraged to be creative. Knitting later became the perfect antidote to long hours of music studies and sustained her through a nursing career.

The inspiration for Jenny’s knitting comes from different sources, including her two young grandchildren. She particularly loves color, a fact that is instantly apparent when looking at her designs.

Jenny regularly contributes patterns for publication to knitting magazines. She runs workshops and loves seeing the joy people find in learning a new skill or mastering new techniques.

Other books by the author include:  Knitted Tea Cosies; Made for You; Girl’s Guide to Knitting; Girl’s Guide to Crochet; Miniature Knitted Animals.
