I love llamas (I have 10 of them and 3 alpacas!) and I love knitting. So I've called myself The Knitting Llama and created this blog to share patterns and knitting experiences.
Oh dear, not a good start. I've just discovered that there's another Knitting Llama (without the 'the') who has a blog. I hope we can co-exist peacefully like my llamas do, most of the time anyway! And there I was thinking that I'd thought of a very witty, original name for my blog.
Happy New Year! And Happy New Blog to me. I've wanted to create my own knitting blog for a long time and have finally plucked up the nerve. I'm in the early stages of designing it so bear with me for a few days as I find my way around.
I'm Stephanie, wife to Chris, and mum to Benj 18, Caiti 15 and Ruadhri 8. I was born in Ipswich, UK, lived a long time in Cork, Ireland and now live in France where we run a tourist business combining a gite, carp fishery and llama trekking. I used to be a children's author in Ireland, with more than 30 books under my belt, and other careers include accounting and editing. I've knitted for as long as I can remember, and still love it!
