Today we’re chatting to knitwear designer Cilla Webb, tell us a little about yourself please Cilla.
I’m a mum of two growing boys (7 and 11), a wife to a lovely husband and a teacher of the Deaf in a wonderful school with a hearing impaired unit. I was born in Belgium but have lived in the UK for the last 15 years. I have a super dopey German Shepherd and a grumpy old Ragdoll cat. I spend most of my (very sparse) free time reading, drawing or knitting.
Cilla has a Mystery Knit Along running at the moment, check it out here
How did you get into knitting/crochet and who taught you?
My mum taught me to knit when I was 6. There was always quite the stash of yarn at our house, so knitting became a popular past time for my sister and I. I stopped knitting as a teen but picked up the needles again when I was pregnant with my 1st child.

What’s you favourite part of the design process?
