mohair and other sweaters

I started making these when I worked with Philip Normal at the Happy Shack in Camden in 2006. People bought them, so I carried on. I still wear my first one, but they’re more finessed now, and I use a wider variety of yarns. I love jumpers, sweaters, pullovers, woollies, whatever you want to call them.
