About Nonnys Knits and Other Bits

Hi, I’m Sue and I am the owner of Nonnys knits. I learned how to crochet many moons ago when I was expecting my first child, but with a busy life and a large family, (I now have five grown up children) I didn’t really find the time to put my skills into practice. It was only when my third granddaughter was expected, (26 years later!) that I picked up my hook again. This time round, I caught the crochet bug! At this time I had been unemployed for a while after being made redundant and not really having a strong work history, (I was a stay at home Mum until my youngest was in secondary school) I was finding it hard to find suitable employment. As a result, I spent more and more time making things and discovered that I wasn’t that bad at it. I began selling my items on ebay, but found that it didn’t really suit my product and it was difficult to advertise custom orders. By this time, I decided to take the bull by the horns and start selling as a business. I went through so many names for my new venture, but it was my middle son who suggested Nonnys (My grandchildren’s name for me) and knits, (because Nonnys crochet just didn’t really have the same ring to it) And so Nonnys Knits became a reality.
