Author Bio

Sarah Simi is a knitter extraordinaire and the creator, director and producer of nudinits, the world's first all-knitted animation. She learnt to knit from a young age, mainly Starsky cardigans, Clangers and even an outfit for her guinea pig that it sensibly refused to wear. After working as a stylist, writer and designer for many years, an idea formulated in Sarah's mind for a knitted village full of eccentric British characters. At first the village was more of a traditional affair but after reading an article about free hiking (hiking in the nude) Sarah's villagers lost their clothes and nudinits was born. Sarah then collaborated with animator Ed Hartwell to make her first film, 'Tickled Pink', which went on to win a Best Comedy and a Best Animation award, and nudinits have never looked back. They've now become an online hit with further films, awards and lots of nudinit products to enjoy including knitting pattern books, calendars and cards. Together, Sarah and Ed now run Woolly Vision, a stop-motion animation company in London which specializes in making animation with wool, fabric and felt. Their films are multi-award winning and have been shown at film festivals all around the world. Sarah also loves making ceramic animal sculptures, collects panda Christmas ornaments and presents a podcast about the 1970s. Sarah is an Essex girl by birth, Londoner at heart, and currently living in the US. For more nudinit fun go to: www.nudinits.com To see all that Sarah gets up to go to: www.woollyvision.com
