Felix Ford

By the sea (U.K. version)

Felix (Felicity) Ford is an artist living by the sea in the UK with her husband Mark and four naughty hens named after Bridgerton characters. She celebrates daily life with whatever materials are on hand but mostly with knitting, sound, and stationery. She has taught at Shetland Wool Week, Edinburgh Yarn Festival and in Season 6 of Knit Stars: Live Colorfully. What she loves most is helping other makers celebrate their unique lives in creative ways.

Felix has produced several books and eBooks that teach you how to translate daily life into stranded colorwork; art commissions for UK institutions that use sounds from ordinary life; and her wildly popular KNITSONIK Bullet Journaling course that models an affirming and creative approach to managing our everyday lives.

Felix runs her online school—KNITSONIK art school for makers—from a messy office in which she’s currently obsessed with carving her own rubber stamps. Follow her everywhere as @knitsonik and sign up to her newsletter here.

Dear Tortoises

On paper, January is the start of a new year. But emotionally? Some of us need a month or two to get moving.
