Granny Clare

Clare started her own knitting business in 1982 when it became apparent that there was a need for handmade designer knitwear. Not everyone could find mass produced garments to fit and some just wanted something out of the ordinary and original. Some wanted their own designs incorporated into their knitwear or something made to measure. The business started off in craft fairs, progressed to a shop and is now run as mail order via the internet. Clare lives in Plymouth Devon. She has 4 grandsons including a pair of identical twins. She has been doing knitting and crochet for as long as she can remember, having been taught at a very early age by her Aunt.
