Work in progress

It's UK Wool Week and I'm celebrating British wool and traditional knitting techniques from the British Isles, creating a range of hand knitted Fair Isle necklaces using beautiful 4ply Shetland wool. Here's a little sneak peek at how the pieces are coming along... 

Behind the Scenes

I just wanted to share with you some behind the scenes images of new pieces taking shape in my studio...

To make my brooches and necklaces I mostly use recycled wool or wool that people have given me, but working where I do it's hard to resist new things and this is how I have found myself with this beautiful Bergere De France yarn! Luberon is actually a 4ply sock yarn, but it works beautifully through my machine and there is a  lovely range of colours. 

All knitted covers for my brooches and necklaces are knitted by me on my knitting machine!

Brooch bases waiting to be embellished!

New pieces that will be on sale in the Jessica Muir Gallery, Long Melford
