    Has a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in knitting, studying knitting and knitwear and knitted textiles for SIX years.  Non-knitters like to remind her that she could have become an architect or a doctor or something far more worthwhile than a knitter in that time.  In situations like these she tends to keep a blank, Hindu-cow like expression on her face and carrys on with her knitting.

    Johanna worked as a knitwear designer for several posh knitwear companies in London and New York, but two years ago decided to move home to Glasgow where she now teaches knitting and design knitwear patterns in her workshop in Glasgow's west end( on sale in  brand new Etsy shop soon!).
