I have TWO Knitting Art shops. Here's how to choose which one to use :

CafePress - lots of stuff, USA based

My CafePress shop sells a wide range of merchandise, and is based in the USA. This merchandise is printed on demand, and international postage costs apply if you are outside of the USA. This is the shop to use if you live in the USA or Canada, or don't mind paying extra for international shipping costs. Prices in this shop are in US dollars.

KnittingArt.com.au - four cards, Australia based

Four of my designs (Pink Shawl, Casting On, Red Mug and Anticipation) are printed on blank cards, here in Australia. These cards are available from my new Knitting Art shop.

This is the shop to use if you're in Australia or New Zealand and want some inexpensive cards and quick delivery. Prices in this shop are in Australian dollars and include GST if you're in Australia. The Knitting Art shop includes a wholesale marketplace for shop owners, as well, including export wholesale sales.

I will have original paintings for sale soon, too, through the Knitting Art shop. Stay tuned!


In recent years knitting has become more than a sometimes pastime for me, and more of an obsession. I even have a knitting Blog, many projects on the go at once, a growing yarn stash, and am a keen member of our local Stitch'n Bitch knitting group.

Summer Collection 1

Watercolour, February 2008

This is my first finished painting in a while - I hadn't picked up a brush since moving house and the death of my brother at the end of 2007. It was a bit hard to get back into the swing of things.

I made this painting long and thin to fit onto a CafePress mug, but it looks nice on other stuff as well!

The collection is of summery colours and summery fibres. From left to right we have : Hand-spun, hand-dyed wool by the talented HappySpider; Cleckheaton bamboo; two balls of Mission Falls 1824 Cotton; a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy Sock Yarn; a small ball of my daughter's hand-spun silk; Lincraft Bamboozle; and three balls of Heirloom Baby Yarn.
