Designer Sue Culligan lives in France with her architect husband Culli and two dogs - Golden Retriever Buddy and Bernese Mountain dog Billie.

Sue runs knitting and crochet holidays in France and spends much of her time adding texture and colour to their home with her colourful designs. The knitting and crochet patterns are available to buy on KnitKits, along with Culli's beautiful hand turned gifts.

Sue also works as a freelance translator and pattern editor for French yarn company Bergere de France.

The Barn where knitting holidays in France are held is situated in the peaceful countryside close to St Jean d'Angely and is available to rent as a self-catering holiday home in July and August, with accommodation for up to 14 people. See details here.
