What strikes me first about Lisa of Little Cupcakes work is her amazing product shots which tell a story in themselves (you'll learn why they are so good when you read on). Truly gorgeous knitting patterns designed and developed by Lisa and featuring modern twists on babies/children's knitwear filled with pattern, texture and colour....

How do you balance your creative life with your family, life commitments?
Creativity is apart of my family, My husband is a photographer and photographs my patterns, our three kids all model the garments. At the kitchen table we all create… drawing, sticking and making. Amelia is 7 and has just learnt to knit, takes her knitting everywhere… she now knits in the car too. As a family we like to go on Adventures, 4 wd to beaches and mountains, theres always a chance to sneak in a few pics.
Kitchen table or studio?
Kitchen Table and my own studio space with a comfy chair great view looking through the trees out towards Rangitoto Island, with cubby holes jammed full with wool and a tall book shelf full of book, magazines, buttons, trims and beads.
