My Name is Robin

Robin Making the Whistle Face

How It Came To Be

I studied Interior Design and Textile Design. After two years of working and scratching my head trying to figure out how to start a career as a designer I registered my business – A Well-Mannered Young Lady – and am knitting and crocheting a collection of winter accessories inspired by the afghans almost all of us grew up with.
