Robynn-El is a retired educator (MEdCA etc) and published cross stitch designer (Milner Craft Series) who quilts and stitches when she is not madly drop spindling or carrying on her knitting addiction. Being the sub-editor and team member of three Aussie fibre magazines (eg. Indie Road), her work included designing knitwear, illustrating, interviewing designers, tech editing patterns of contributors, test knitting, reviewing craft books and writing instructional and promotional articles about techniques and business profiles.

She runs two Guild groups in the Southern Highlands each month and demonstrates at shows, festivals and woolly groups. Cognizant of different types of learning, Robynn is able to cater for all students in an uplifting learning environment where success is achieved. Being a believer in the ‘pay it forward’ philosophy, Robynn is always willing to teach others the skills to be creative or better in their chosen textile and fibre field.

Give Robynn her wolf to hug, a handful of merino/silk sliver and her drop spindle, or some Aussie wool and knitting needles, and she is a happy girl.
