Hello
I am Louise Crowther, a
British knitting designer who loves knitting dolls, toys and decorations – basically anything that is small and neat and you don't need to
worry about whether it will fit you or not when you've finished!
I have been involved with
textile design all my working life, starting my career as a Jacquard designer based
in Yorkshire, creating elaborate, woven cloth designs for the corporate market
and high street fashion retailers.
My passion
for knitting started about ten years ago when my eldest son wanted to learn how
to knit, and although his interest in knitting lasted no longer than a week, I
was hooked! Unable to find any knitting
patterns for toys that really appealed to me, I decided to have a go at
creating my own; and so began the next chapter of my design career. I have
become one of those lucky people who's hobby has turned into a day job, and now
run the small but successful business Boo-Biloo.
My work has been featured in
various magazines including Making Gifts and Simply Knitting and my first book My Knitted Doll will be released in
October 2016.
