Kate Eastwood was taught to knit as a child, by her mother, but eight years ago she decided to teach herself how to crochet. Since then she has shared her love of all things crochet on her blog, justpootling.blogspot.co.uk and Instagram @just_pootling. Kate is the author of Crocheted Wreaths and Garlands (also CICO) and has designed projects for lovecrochet.com and Simply Crochet magazine. Kate lives near Bath with her husband and their two Weimeraners.
