Miriam is mainly Midlands with a strand of Manx and a thread of Wiltshire shepherding. She has now lived in the Isle of Man – with a very non-Midlands view straight out to sea – for more than half her life. Miriam has sewn, knitted and generally ‘made things’ since early childhood, taught by her mother and influenced by her maternal relatives.
Miriam fell in with this particular woolly tangle 74 hours after retiring, when all her immediate plans vanished into the crazy last month leading to the yarnbombing of Peel, and she has yet to extricate herself.
The result? “An amazing amount learned; patience absorbed from others; knitting that’s beginning to move a little off-piste; even more stuff stashed ‘in case it comes in useful’; endless challenges - and lots of laughter.”
