About

Les

Hi, I’m Les.

I play with string, and that’s mostly what you’ll read about here. At the moment, that means knitting, but expect weaving, spinning and dyeing in future.

In an almost-former life, I was a software developer. In a long-ago-former life, I was a nurse. I grew up in Texas, moved to North Carolina and then to Australia.
