I love to learn new techniques all the time, which results in me creating an assortment of knitted and crocheted items throughout the year. Sometimes I have a recipient in mind for them but a lot of the time I find certain patterns or ideas irresistible and can’t help but create them - regardless of what materials I have to hand! I tend to make one offs to make every creation unique but occasionally I will bulk make certain items for seasonal events. If you’re looking to buy one of my pre- made items please have a look through my Etsy shop to see what is currently available.
As well as items I make generally, I love creating that special something for a special someone. So, if you would like something from my portfolio (see creations below), either as it is shown or customised in any way, or even something completely different please get in touch through the contact form at the bottom of the page. Whether you already have a pattern, an image to work from or only just an idea of what you are after, I would love to work with you to see that creation come to life. Prices of a custom make will depend on the type of wool used and time needed to create it.
After following various patterns over the years and either occasionally altering them to suit my needs or not being able to find exactly what I was after, I started to create my own patterns. Links or credits to all the patterns I have followed from others are detailed in the individual item pages (see creations below), and all of my own patterns are available to buy on my Etsy shop (linked towards the bottom of the page).
From learning only the basics from a young age and not picking my needles and hooks back up a few years ago, I am still learning every day and discovering my own preferred way of doing things. Here, I will share some of the most useful things I have picked up and a couple of tips and how - tos. If there’s anything in particular you would like to know but I’ve not got anything listed about it, please feel free to get in touch via the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Hello! I’m Anna Louise Turner and welcome to my website of woolen creations. I grew up in the north west of England, where my great aunt taught me the basics of knitting and crocheting, either when she would come to visit or we visited her in Glasgow. I later moved to Glasgow to do my degree in Earth Science and stayed on working (until recently) as a Geotechnical and Environmental engineer. However, it wasn’t until a few years ago, when I attended a craft fair and got chatting to some lovely knitters selling the most gorgeous arran wool, that I decided to pick back up my needles and get crafting again. Progress was usually quite slow to start, with work or general life (and plenty of non- excuses) getting in the way of starting… or even finishing a project. However, since leaving my job in 2020 I found myself focusing more and more on my crochet and knitting (as well as planning for travel across Europe, when such luxuries are allowed again) and decided to lean into my refounded passion. Having learnt only the basics at a young age, I’m still learning a lot of techniques and styles of yarn work but loving every moment of it and eager to keep improving. Please feel free to have a look around my website, instagram page and etsy shop, or get in touch via the contact form below.
