Autorenporträt

Christine Perry is an award-winning blogger and "sock knitting enabler" at www.winwickmum.co.uk and has taught thousands of beginners to knit socks through her free online Sockalong tutorials. She passionately believes that the world always needs more sock knitters and would be very happy to knit socks all day except for the disappointing discovery that housework won't do itself and her family can't live on fresh air. Luckily, they all appreciate hand- knitted socks so feeding them is no hardship.
