My grandmother taught me to knit when I was six years old and I have been an avid knitter ever since. I grew up on a small island in Canada and now live in Scotland. I frequently work with my two sisters with these designs even though we have become geographically dispersed across Canada, England, and Scotland. My design style is classic with a modern twist. These designs range from simple pullovers and scarves to intricate lace shawls and fair isle accessories. I find inspiration from a range of places but often this inspiration comes from nature. You can find all of our designs on Ravelry under our design name MunroSisters3.
