Samira Hill is a former professional archaeologist based in the beautiful Scottish Borders. After spending years digging and traveling around the world (always with her knitting), Samira has been teaching knitting and crochet professionally to all ages, from primary school children to adults since 2013.
Samira teaches all aspects of knitting and crochet both online and in person throughout Scotland, and loves to empower crafters with new skills and not to be deterred by techniques that “look hard”. When not teaching, Samira is a published designer of knitting, crochet and Tunisian crochet patterns under “Eildon Hills Designs”, with her patterns featured in UK and worldwide publications such as The Journal of Scottish Yarns, Knitting Magazine, Moorit Magazine and through her self-published patterns on Ravelry.
Samira is also a knitting and crochet technical editor for many independent designers and prestigious knitting and crochet publications, including the Shetland Wool Week Annual and the Journal of Scottish Yarns. Samira is also the organiser of the annual Tangled Galashiels Fibre Festival in the Scottish Borders.

As a crafter and designer, my design adventure would not be half as interesting and exciting, if it was not connected to working with and highlighting the beautiful products and collaborations that form part of both the local and wider textile crafts community.
