Sally

She/Her
Studio Manager

Sally is our Director of Everything Woollen & Head pompom maker; She’s in charge of our studio from orders to organisation. The fact that Sally owns a laminator tells you basically everything you need to know. She is reliable and kind and while she’d deny it, she’s definitely the naughty one!

What Does Sally Do?
Sally is basically in charge of the studio, which includes heaps of jobs. Not only does she pack 90% of the orders (she is so much faster than I am, it’s genuinely embarrassing!) Sally also organises Christmas stock, handles deliveries, finishes all the ready made products, makes sure we’re stocked up on all the labels and tags for kits, often taking things home (like winding 200g hanks into 4x 50g balls by hand) so that she can bring them in the next day to get orders out more quickly… to be honest this list pales in comparison to all the things she does but hopefully it gives you an idea of Sallys role at LAD, she’s an absolute powerhouse and we’d be lost without her.

Sally is super reliable, wonderfully thorough, kind and an absolute joy to be around, the studio is a busy and lovely place when she’s in it.

Fav colour
Give me every shade of blue! It’s my favourite colour. Vast as the sky.
Happy place
I’m happiest when I’m walking – coast, moor, riverside or woodland. I like to clock up plenty of miles each week.

How does knitting for LAD compare to other jobs you’ve had in your life?

I’ve always worked combining colour, whether for a fashion sales floor layout, a preschool paint painting project or sewing soft furnishings for clients.

What impact has being a maker had on you and your family?

The impact of being a maker on my family – a home that always has a project on the go and a passion to encourage every ounce of creativity in my kids.

If you could give a friend one piece of general advice, what would it be?

My advice for a friend would be to ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’.
