Kate McCully

Kate McCully started her craft business - 'Make Me Roar' - in 2008 when she made a sock monkey for her boss who had just gone on maternity leave. She went on to create a range of sock-monster making kits and opened an online storewith her husband, a graphic designer.

Kate says that one of the highlights of her crochet career so far was when she was selected to compete on Kirstie's Handmade Christmas. She lives in Eastbourne on the South Coast of the UK with her husband and two children.
