Don't Ignore the Elephant | Debbie Bliss: Crafting, cancer and looking cool
Manage episode 359248250 series 2992337
My second guest is the wonderful Debbie Bliss MBE. She’s the most published knitwear designer in the world. She revolutionised the pattern industry and makes knitting cool. But she also looks cool as well. Debbie has had thymus and breast cancer and has accepted her new figure after a mastectomy. She’s a savvy business woman in her seventies and there’s no sign of her stopping any time soon.
As well as her cancer journey, we talk about how fell in to knitting almost by accident, which led to Elton John owning one of her knitted house plants. She shares with us her own mother’s struggles with mental illness, the challenge of redefining yourself as an older woman in this world of filters and influencers, and the importance of being kind.
