I’m Corrie, a twenty-something year old living in London with my boyfriend and a couple of crazy hamsters.

I studied Materials Science and Engineering at university and am now making my way using the skills I picked up there and through my experience with crafting. I was born in Vereeniging, South Africa, and lived in Zimbabwe until I was 10, when we moved to Devon, UK. I’ve had a lot to do with Africa, and travelled a lot in the continent.

I’m a crafty person in general. Plutonium Muffins is mainly for knitting and spinning, despite the huge amount of other things that I do, but bits of real-life and other crafts do sneak in sometimes. I hope you won’t mind!

You can find out about my knitting and spinning here.

About Plutonium Muffins

The Plutonium Muffins motto is “embrace life”. The motto and website was inspired by the loss of a very dear friend, whose advice to me was always “don’t have a bad day just because someone else is”, or similar.

In December of 2011 – after a year of mental illness and my life generally being improved in a massive way by knitting, I started the Plutonium Muffins website. The story starts here, and is on-going. I hope you follow, and enjoy.

Please do feel absolutely free to pop me a line. I am very talkative and always looking to meet new people who may teach me a bit about themselves, their craft, and the world in general.

Much love,

Corrie xx
