Angela Turner Designs

I've been a designer for a few years now but a knitter since I was 4.  My mum taught me to knit and I was surrounded by aunts and grandmothers who knitted so it was no surprise that I fell in love with knitting too!

One day, while reading a knitting magazine, I came across a competition for designing a premature baby knit.  I entered a little cardi with a teddy on the front and got a lovely parcel of goodies and a message from the editor saying 'Congratulations, and all the best with your designing future'.  My first thought was 'I am not a designer', followed by 'Why not?'!

I have created lots of toys and baby designs for UK magazines and have recently been designing some 1:12 miniature knits for the doll's house.  I have been a collector for many years, so it gives me great pleasure to create the tiniest little knitted clothes using just one strand of embroidery thread to give the mini home that realistic look!
