Hi, I’m Amber — a creative machine knitting designer, published author, machine knitting tutor and textile artist with nearly two decades of experience. I love helping people of all skill levels discover the joy of machine knitting, from beginners just starting out to experienced knitters looking to create their own designs.
My online workshops guide you step-by-step, teaching both the techniques and the why behind them. You’ll learn to experiment, play, and gain confidence on your machine while exploring textures, 3D effects, ribbing, intarsia, and even jumper construction. All courses are self-paced with videos you can keep forever.

Knitting with Light – Cyanotype Knit Prints
Discover my Knitting with Light collection — a series of cyanotype prints made with machine-knitted lace swatches. Using sunlight to capture the delicate patterns of stitches and yarns, these fine art prints transform textile textures into striking indigo blue wall art.
Printed on archival, museum-quality paper in four sizes, each piece highlights the beauty of knitting in a new way. Perfect for textile lovers, knitters, or anyone looking for unique fibre-inspired artwork for their home.
