Hi I am Manda from Mandaswoolenbits, I started crochet and later knitting to keep my sanity and help give me something to do, it’s a great hobby that helps.me relax. It also helps me be calm for my daughter who has some challenging behaviour.

I started writing down my designs when people ask me if there were patterns. I want to make my pattern ones that fit. Ones when a little change can make it your own. I also want them to be for everyone.
Being dyslexic makes it a harder process, but it just means I need amazing testers, which I have started to find.

I also run a group on Facebook called Woolenbits and crafty friends. It’s where I ask for testers and share my love of all things craft. Your welcome to join us.
