I am Shirley, I live in Bruges with my husband and 3 children.
As a child, I found it fascinating how my grandmother used 2 needles and a ball of wool to make a pair of house socks.
After numerous attempts to teach me how to knit, I gave up because my stitches were so tight on my needles that knitting became in vain.

When my nephew and niece were born a few years ago, my aunt knitted numerous sweaters with beautiful Disney characters from Phildar's books. Once again I envied her talent.

After a few more attempts to learn to knit on my own, I registered at CVO Sint-Godelieve (now CVO Miras) in Oostkamp. There where I had been taking knitting and crochet lessons for 8 years from the most patient teacher I know.
In addition to basic knitting, color knitting, relief knitting, lace knitting, etc., knitting needles have few secrets. I still take knitting lessons to keep my knowledge up to date and to follow the knitting trend.

After a few years the idea occurred to me to do something with this on a professional level.
After much deliberation, I finally decided to put my 14-year career as a civil servant aside and jump into limbo to pursue my dream.
I very much hope to meet you in “my” hobby corner in Bruges and to encourage you (again) to pick up those knitting needles... and to admire your creations.
