Crocheting back to health

Ellen Siegert was only 13 years old when she found out she had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

From a young age, she was taught the basics of knitting by her nan. It was the rediscovery of the knitting needle which led into her new-found passion – crocheting. She says she “wouldn’t be here without creativity.”

Five years since the diagnosis, she explains how creativity has brought a new passion (and business!) to her life. Cameron Noble went to meet her.
