Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, pen & purl has been knitting obsessively for almost a year, sewing haphazardly for nearly two months and crocheting avidly in her dreams.
Since graduating university and being thrust out into the real world, she has done a fairly good job of avoiding it thoroughly. Firstly, by spending two years in a small villiage near Osaka, Japan, attempting to convey the subtle difference between the letters ‘r’ and ‘l’ to its sleepy population of high school students. Then by irrationally falling in love with a fellow martial arts student who promptly whisked her away to his hometown of Perth, Australia, where she spent another two years getting to know his cats, working in a few arts related jobs and completing an honours year in art theory. His job has since brought them both to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where pen & purl has been knitting, sewing, reading, shopping, cooking and becoming increasingly bored over the last six months. The beau’s job has also fallen short of the mark and been cut short, so both have decided it must be time to move on. And where’s a girl, her man and a rather large fabric and yarn stash to go, but London of course!
Stay tuned!
