She discovered her love of the craft at a very early age – her mother taught her to knit when she was just four years old and by the age of nine she was making jackets and jumpers. Sarah now works as a freelance pattern designer and finds calculating rows and stitches challenging but fascinating. She is experienced in designing knitted toys for children, and also enjoys writing patterns for charity. She has written four other titles for GMC, all in the same popular series: Knitted Wild Animals, Knitted Farm Animals, Knitted Noah's Ark and Knitted Nursery Rhymes.
