We started with one machine and five cones of surplus wool and now we design and produce the best knitted headwear in the world!K-nit was conceived in mid-2013 when designer and needleworker Carole Layfield set about knitting some hats for her sons and their friends. Using the surplus Lambswool from her store cupboard, she instinctively designed a small collection of comfy, durable beanies whose stark and often improvised colour blends gave way to an authentic style.Although she perhaps never expected to make more than those first few, their creation met with such a positive reception that excited family discussion quickly led to a well-formulated vision for K-nit...one that is now being realised.Besides providing high-quality garments, continuing to source local wool and endeavouring to support British manufacturing has become central to our ethos, as has a non-wasteful approach to the production process.Equally important is that original, distinctive style. We feel it is one that offers a fresh approach to the beanie craze of the last few years - a timeless look that reflects the highly creative sensibilities and honest attitude of our company.

At Click Surf we like to think of ourselves as a small, but perfectly formed surf, snow and lifestyle store. Born in the summer of 2010, the vision was to provide customers with a range of competitively priced, high-quality surf and snow and lifestyle products, whilst also contributing some character and a likeable identity to the world of retail. Collaborating with similarly minded individuals with a prominent breadth of talent and experience, the company continues to grow and adapt, allied to the original concept.

As a sports coach at Wellow House School I taught solely and at times aided children from ages as low as 3-4 upto ages 12-13. Sports varied widely as that was the nature and philosophy of the school and luckily as I was a former pupil I had appropriate skills and knowledge to conduct instruction and supervision. Sports included Swimming, Archery, Table Tennis, Tennis, Cricket, Rugby and Indoor Ball Sports.
