Bio
Judith Watson
Katherine is a highly skilled hand-knitter. She helped me with some intricate hand knit that I needed for a project delivering exactly what I wanted in plenty of time before the deadline. She is extremely knowledgable and as a designer was able to envisage exactly what was required. She is very straight forward and great to work with. I'd highly recommend her.
Chelsea G.
Kate was excellent from start to finish! She was great at putting her own thoughts and ideas across about how to interpret my drawings into knit textures, and was always so quick at getting finished samples and product to me. Going out of her way to ensure I met my deadlines with room to spare and that what was achieved was exactly to my wants and needs. The finish was consistent and to an excellent standard. I hope we are able to work together again.
