My name is Kim Winter and I live in London, UK. I've had no formal training in textiles. I learnt to knit when I was at school, and was quite a keen knitter in my teens and twenties, but the pressures of work and travel meant that I didn't pick up my needles and yarn after that for about 15 years.
Then in September 2010 I signed up for evening classes in creative and experimental textiles at Morley College in London. It refired my enthusiasm for colour and texture, so I thought I'd keep a blog to chart my exploration of this exciting world. I've called it Flextiles, because my definition of textiles is quite loose, including plastic as well as fabric and yarn.
