Bert's Crochet Baby Blankets eBook
We chat to Amanda, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to crochet a Cornucopia Blanket.
I have been obsessed by crochet & colour my whole life, my ambition is to produce innovative designs which will excite and inspire my readers to pick up a hook and play . I make blankets as they give me a big canvas to experiment with colour and shape. I spent 12 years running The Natural Dye Studio my independent hand dyeing yarn business, I started designing crochet patterns as pattern support for the yarn, over the course of time the yarn became support for the patterns. So in 2015 I closed the yarn business to concentrate on being a full time crochet author. I live in a small village, perched high on a sea cliff on Exmoor, Devon, UK, living in such a amazingly beautiful place inspires and influences a lot of my work.

My favorite thing about my space is the natural light, no question. My previous space was very dark and had only one small north facing window, so I really appreciate natural light where I work. I have two big windows that get morning sun, so I rarely need to use a lamp or the overhead light.
