Ruth Maddock
I studied fashion at Epsom Art School - now the University of the Creative Arts - completing my course and then taking a circuitous route through a number of design positions until I finally found my niche working as a hand knit, machine knit and crochet designer. I had been knitting and crocheting since childhood so this was very much like coming home.  
    I became an internationally published author, a teacher, and a regular contributor to the major UK Knit and Crochet Magazines.
In the 1990’s children came marching into my life, bringing with them laughter, mayhem and complete disarray.  I was far too busy mopping floors and cooking fish fingers to continue working so this was put on hold.
        The new millennium brought with it a gradual rediscovery of the great joy of knitting, crocheting and most of all designing.  At this time I also worked as a lecturer at Solihull College, teaching pattern cutting and garment construction.
        Since then I have been working again for the UK yarn spinners and magazines, and in December of 2011 I opened a local yarn store in Bromyard – Herefordshire. From this base I also continue my design work and run workshops.
