Lucy has been an adventurous knitter since she was 17. She is originally from the UK, where she was a navigating officer in the Merchant Navy. She has lived in Nova Scotia for the last 30 years. The Fleece Artist in Halifax, her LYS, gave her the opportunity to teach some classes 1995, and she discovered her passion for sharing the engineering marvels of knitting, from Antarctica to the Yukon and many places in-between. She has not stopped sharing the joy of Happy Stitches since!
She is known as much for her colourful appearance as for her friendly, detailed, technique-rich knitting patterns, and her particular fondness for double-layer knitting. She has written three books; Cool Socks Warm Feet, Cool Knitters Finish in Style and A Little Book of BIG Holes for Hand-knitters!, and has filmed 16 DVD titles. She has five classes on Craftsy.com: Foundations of Double Knitting, My First Socks, Next Steps in Socks, Fearless Knitting and the free Sock of Month series for 2016. You can also find her on KnitStars (Season 4) and still offers cruise workshops for Craft Cruises.
Lucy lives on an isolated island off the Atlantic coast and still enjoys trying to dispel the myth that only sedentary, quiet people in rocking chairs knit: she loves cycling, down-hill skiing, sailing, quilting, colourful home improvement and narrow-boating on the historic UK canal system. You can find Lucy on Ravelry, Instagram, and on her Lucyknit YouTube channel and her patterns and virtual DVDs are now available from Little Barn Studio (LittleBarnStudio.ca)
