For over three decades, I’ve immersed myself in the rich and intricate world of fiberarts. My journey began with the basics of knitting and crochet and has since expanded to include a broad array of techniques such as embroidery, Hardanger, tatting, sewing, macramé and lacework. My passion for creating has not only filled my days with joy and purpose but has also driven me to continually evolve and embrace new challenges like basketry, soap making and watercolour painting.

Artemis North isn’t just a website; it’s a portal to my world where yarns and fibers intertwine with daily life. Here, I share not only my creations but also the stories they tell and the lessons they hold. Through blogging, I explore how our surroundings and daily experiences shape our creative expressions. My site, built on WordPress using Divi builder, is a testament to my commitment to blending art with digital savvy, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.

The “Beyond the Skein” podcast and accompanying newsletter extend our dialogue about fiberarts into the realms of auditory and written exploration, where we delve deeper into the symbiotic relationship between our crafts and our lives.

Central to my vision for Artemisnorth is the creation of a vibrant, supportive community. Our virtual knitgroup on GoBrunch epitomizes this ideal. It’s a place that’s always open and free for all, where fiberartists—regardless of their background or skill level—come together to connect, share, and assist one another. In this space, we celebrate each other’s victories, offer guidance through challenges, and continually inspire each other to reach new creative heights.

When I’m not wrapped up in yarn, you can find me kayaking serene waters, bird-watching in peaceful settings, or photographing nature’s beauty. These outdoor activities refresh my spirit and inspire the textures and patterns in my work. I also hold an advanced Amateur Radio license: VE3 LYY, and I’m quite the closet electronics tech—I can solder and read schematics. In short, I love learning about everything!

Join me at artemisnorth.com, where we weave our skills and stories into a shared tapestry of creativity. Whether you’re here to find inspiration, learn a new technique, or simply to feel connected to a wider world of craft enthusiasts, you’re in the right place. Let’s craft a beautiful world together!
