Cathy Stevenson - Hand Knitting

Cathy knitting at her stall in the Columba Hall, Port Ellen

I went to Primary school and was taught to knit and sew.  As I grew up, I kept the knitting going.  As a Mum and a Granny my work was in much demand and I now do it as a hobby.

I use a wide range of materials, from 2-ply for matinée jackets to Aran weight for cardigans and jumpers.  My prices start at £10.00 for a matinée jacket.  Other garments vary in price with size and weight of yarn.  For example, Arans start at £15.00.  I am happy to take orders for garments.

I attend the Port Ellen Craft Markets, and can also be contacted by e-mail.
