I’m Debbie, the person behind I’ve got knits.
I learnt to knit at a young age, taught by my Nan and Mum, great memories that have stayed with me. I remember one of the first things I knitted, with a bit of help, was a pink pig pencil case, which I still have today.
Over the years though I forgot about my new skill, I did occasionally pick up a pair of needles every so often and make something, like baby blankets when I was pregnant. I now have 3 children, the youngest boy being 11, then his older brother, 15 and then my daughter who is now 18
However the big turning point was a few years ago, after dealing with health issues for a number of years, my mental health took a hit. One day I was having coffee with a good friend and she was working on a scarf. It had been a few years since I’d done any knitting, but was inspired to start again. It was like water off a ducks back, it was like I’d never stopped. I soon picked up those needles again and suddenly I found it silenced my mind, having something to work on that I was good at, felt great, it really helped me deal with bouts of anxiety, whenever life got a bit overwhelming, I’d pick up my needles and make something. I then started to look at new techniques and explore different materials.
I quickly fell in love with merino wool, it’s super soft, feels luxurious to wear, doesn’t itch and is a natural and sustainable material.
And that is how I’ve got knits was born, mostly because my husband was getting a bit concerned about the number of items I was making, which was far too much for one family to ever wear.
