Notes

Helen has worked in magazine publishing for over 20 years, but it wasn't until she began working for a knitting magazine in 2008 that she fell in love with the craft. She has a passion for regional knitting traditions, such as Fair Isle, Shetland Lace, Estonian Lace, etc. She has had the pleasure of interviewing many knitwear designers over the years and the overwhelming majority of them have cited Barbara Walker as having a major influence of their careers.
