Ruth Green is a Royal College of Art Fashion Womenswear Knitwear graduate who has just launched her own knitwear label and whose designs will be featuring for the first time in the 52nd issue of the Rowan Magazine, due out this month.


She shares some of her thoughts on designing.


When did you first discover your skills?


Throughout school I spent all my free time in the art room and I began knitting during my A-levels. I always knew I wanted to be in the creative world, and having the right tutors throughout my studies has guided to me to where I am today!


What would you pick out as important influences on your work?


There are so many!


There are some artists I return to over and over again, such as Kyffin Williams and John Knapp Fisher, and I love the landscapes that inspired them; I return to Pembrokeshire every year. This year I created the designs for the ‘North Sea’ story for Rowan Mag 52 whilst sitting on a window seat overlooking Newgale beach and cliffs listening to the howl of gale force winds. The best inspiration ever!


And when I’m out and about I examine what everyone is wearing, the small details and checking what I like and, equally as important, what I don’t.


And the Big One - my Mum, who loves knitting and has always inspired me. There have been knitting books around the house for as long as I can remember!
