I’m an independent maker of unique hand-crafted items. I'm also able to re-create any of the shown designs in a different material or colour as well as able to take on commissions as per your wishes. I always had a passion for handcrafts, instilled by my grandmother who taught me to knit, crochet and hand-stitch (can't work a sewing machine for life nor money). I never really left the needles behind, even in my teenage years through to my early 20's. For a number of years I've been thinking and wondering how I can make a living doing what I love whilst working a considerably stressful full-time job - and never came up with anything feasible. But life is not always as planned (well, never actually) and the opportunity presented itself to just take the plunge and "go for it" - and so I did - with hope and panic in my heart. I haven't stopped since and am currently also developing craft workshops, patterns, samples, items for sale, taking commissions and even found part-time employment in the local yarn shop - The Wool Croft, Abergavenny. I never dreamed of having a total different life style and make it work. AnjaInWales is about the love for individually hand-knitted (and sometimes crocheted) garments and items, made with high-quality yarns by my own hands. I'm currently a one-woman show with the support of my lovely husband whom without I'd never have done this. I hope you enjoy the finished products as much as I enjoy making them. Thank you for visiting my shop and happy browsing. Anja x
