Hi, I’m Claire

I’m the creative mind behind Tangles & ties, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for no needles knitting with you.

My Story

As a child, I was never very good at traditional knitting. But I found my passion when I discovered the Knitting Nancy. I loved creating beautiful i-cords and braids, but as life moved on, my crafting took a backseat. Years later, while browsing a charity shop, I stumbled upon a Knitting Nancy during a time when my husband was away on deployment. It became my solace and a creative outlet, keeping me busy and bringing back fond memories of my childhood.

Driven by this rediscovered joy, I delved deeper into the world of other no needles knitting techniques. I explored various techniques, from finger knitting to using a knitting loom and circular knitting machines, each opening new possibilities and igniting my creativity.
