Sharon Hodgson Profile

'Bliss ~ a state or feeling of perfect happiness.'

Hi, I'm Sharon and I believe that wearing a beautiful, colourful scarf can cheer you up (and others) on a miserable cold day; or can brighten a mood when you're feeling down in the dumps; or can add a bit of pizazz to a dull winter coat.

The same goes for gorgeous funky bags - brighten a dull outfit; cheer up a black mood; carry a unique item (I only make one of each).

I am inspired by colour, texture and pattern, and love trying out all of the gorgeous new yarns and clever stitch patterns.

I've now branched out into crochet too - brooches, coasters, decorative bowls, keyrings, purses, sunglasses pouches and more to come.

As well as the knitting and crochet, I also enjoy embroidery, patchwork and all things stitchery - please see my new shop on Folksy The Needle Works for my fabric and thread designs.

PLEASE NOTE: I work in a smoke-free and pet-free home so there'll be no nasty smells or stray cat hairs on your goods when they arrive!!

As well as playing with yarn and stitches I love to spend time in my garden - growing, planting, and best of all - watching the bees, birds and frogs enjoy it too!

Check out my BLOG for my thoughts on crafting, gardening, reading and other vaguely interesting stuff (well I think so!).
