About this author

Sue Rawlinson is a self-employed crochet designer, well known in her field. She started her creative journey over 10 years ago after leaving work as an Associate Director in the NHS. After dabbling and then falling in love with crochet, Sue set up her own business, teaching one-to-one lessons and running crochet workshops. She also ran a weekly crochet club which was bursting at the seams - she couldn’t fit any more members around her dining room table! Crochet gave Sue a new lease of life and enabled her to follow a simpler, more creative pathway.

Over the last few years Sue has concentrated more on designing and pattern writing. Many companies have reached out to collaborate with her and she’s worked with numerous magazines and yarn suppliers. She is an ambassador and designer for Love Crochet; and she’s designed and written three Crochet Alongs for Woman’s Weekly, plus several blanket patterns for The Knitting Network, an online collection of knitting and crochet products curated by a team of knitting and crochet experts, including members of the Woman’s Weekly design team.

Sue loves lots of forms of crafts, including cooking and baking. She also enjoys spending time with her daughters and grandchildren. Sue lives in Stockport, UK.
