JulesHoganJules Hogan is a freelance knitwear designer based in the UK. She has created this evolving line of fashion and home accessories on a re-conditioned knitting machine in her garden studio. On an interview with Folksy market place she says:

“My specialisation is knitted textiles, but I also have experience in print, embroidery, and colour prediction. In 2008 I started developing my own collection. This allows me to carry an idea through to the end product – quite often working for a client, you come up with the initial idea, knit the fabric and then wave it farewell as the company produces the final piece.”
