Following her mother\u2019s suggestion to make her own, Gabriela founded Funky Knittings just before the pandemic and continues to run the business part-time alongside her finance role with the help of her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabriela sources her yarn from the UK and Europe and has an online shop offering her full range. She is also happy to make something bespoke and often introduces new colours and patterns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsetforgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Funky-Knittings-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getsetforgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Funky-Knittings-5.png 600w, https:\/\/www.getsetforgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Funky-Knittings-5-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Juggling the demands of work with Funky Knittings, GetSet Solent has helped Gabriela better focus her business objectives and enhance her website.
