Expertise: Knitting
Fiona Goble’s Aunt taught her to knit when she was seven – and she has had projects on the go ever since. She started writing knitting patterns because she couldn’t find any she really liked. Before she started knitting professionally, she was a charity worker, co-owned a copywriting and design agency, worked as a pottery decorator, and ran a textile business. She has also worked as a political researcher and craft teacher. She lives in the UK, just outside London but overlooking a field of horses, with her husband and (sometimes) her student son.
