I'm Sharon (aka Shaz), the yarn enthusiast behind Gifts By Granny.  

Hobbies: Touring Europe and the UK with the caravan (and my husband of course)

Caring for my massive collection of houseplants

Being in my happy place - our huge garden - tending to it or sitting in it (best in the sunshine with a glass in hand).

Looking after my adorable grandchildren while their parents go to work.

And all this - frequently with yarn in hand, weaving my imagination into intricate crochet and knitting creations influenced by my hobbies and travels.

From colourful blankets to unique home decor pieces (especially if they’ll hold something green) I'm constantly seeking new ideas and solutions that can be crafted with love.

And there’s more … the crafting tradition in my family has continued through the generations, with my daughter, Laura, carrying on the legacy in France.

Having had an interest in art and textiles from an early age, she now combines her artistic talents with needlework and high-quality thread, and designs and embroiders unique items which are truly impressive.

These beautifully complement and contrast with our own work, adding a touch of quirkiness to the collections. We are proud to showcase her creations alongside ours.
