I'm Claire Ward and Bless Your Cotton Socks is the label name I’ve been making various crafted collections under since 2006. (Although I've been making crafty things since I was allowed to hold scissors).

While knitting and embroidery are my go-to crafts of choice, since embarking on the wildest creative challenge yet - babies - a lot of my work has started to include kids’ craft and knitted clothes for dolls.

Some things I’ve done have included guest knitting for Karla Courtney's book Cool Knitting, cross-stitching album covers, knitting tiny bananas for the Australian Banana Industry, running craft workshops at Jurassic Lounge, hosting the craft market Lonely Hunter in Sydney & Melbourne and just generally being the first person my friends ask when they need bunting.
