About ACrookedSixpence

ACrookedSixpence

Hand knit and crochet.

Hello...

My name is Karen and I live in the county of Durham close to the Durham heritage coast.

Karen:- definition: hand knit with more than a chance of crochet.

My mother gave me a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn when I was aged six and ever since then I've been knitting and gaining more and more knowledge of knitting and crochet. Ok, I've tried many other crafts, I think a lot of us do...card making, cross stitch, jewellery making...sometimes mixing it up with tiny hand knit hats and mittens on baby cards. My latest exploration...I'm dabbling in the art of quilting, but I always come back to my first love...my knitting and crochet.There's something about taking a string of yarn and two pointed sticks or a hook and making something beautiful...it captivates the mind and satisfies the desire to create which I believe is in all of us.

I am quite proud to say that some of my work has been featured in a couple of magazines...
and I 'm equally proud of the kind and generous comments I have received about my work from my customers, to them I extend my sincere thanks and best wishes!

So, please enjoy your visit to my little shop and if you have any questions do not hesitate to get in touch.

Karen...A Crooked Sixpence.

    Lovely and soft scarf in a beautiful colour.
    Bit smaller than it looks on the model, but didn't mind as it was a gift for my mother who is small and didn't want a scarf to swamp her.
    Thank you!

    Beautiful hand-knitted scarves! Gorgeous colours, lovely yarn and very versatile. Light but with a cosy touch around the neck, these are easy to wear under a coat or jacket.
    Delivery was fast and scarves were nicely packaged. Perfect gifts, this time just for me!
    I’m delighted with my scarves!
