semele assinder

Semele's background is in Classics and Modern Greek. She has lived and worked in both Greece and Italy, and has travelled extensively in both countries (exploring the knitting opportunities as she goes!). Her love of warm weather means that she is usually trying to knit a shawl or jumper to try to replicate the Mediterranean summer in the Welsh countryside, where she is currently based. When she isn't knitting, she is probably reading, swimming, or attempting to track down the perfect coffee and cake. 

She has a professional interest in textile history and women's writing – as well as a passion for them – and to this end regularly writes for travel, well-being and crafting magazines, including The Knitter, Italia!, and Breathe. She is currently writing a novel.
