Who I am

Hey, I’m Gillian—the person behind Fibres of My Being.

I’m a knitter, crocheter, tech editor, and someone who loves making things clearer, neater, and easier to follow. I don’t have a fancy design background, but I do have a good eye for detail, a deep love of yarn, and a knack for spotting the little things that make a big difference—especially when it comes to patterns.

My creative space? Picture a cheerful mess of Post-its, swatches, half-finished projects, and very good intentions. I thrive in a bit of creative chaos—because honestly, that’s where the magic tends to happen.

When I am not editing patterns or stitching something up, I’m probably dreaming up cheeky merch, petting yarn, or avoiding weaving in ends (relatable, right?). I am all about polishing the details so your designs get the spotlight they deserve.

Whether you’re here for editing help, fibre-themed goodies, or to poke around, I'm glad you stopped by.
