Wool Week Work In Progress- Fair Isle Brooches

Today sees the start of Wool Week in the UK so I thought this would be the ideal time to share some of my latest work... These are new square hand knitted Fair Isle brooches, made in beautiful British wool. I'm loving making these and transforming them from initial Fair Isle designs into wearable pieces and the Fenella 2ply wool I'm using to knit them is a joy to use and British grown and produced too. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be revealing more new jewellery work that I'll be adding to my Etsy shop soon. Watch this space!

What are you knitting at the moment and do you enjoy using British wool too?

Last day to take 20% off in my Etsy Shop!

If you're looking for a quirky and unusual Christmas gift, check out my handmade Knitted Rings in my Etsy Shop. I knit the pieces on my knitting machine and then embellish using fabric pieces cut from up-cycled fabrics. All items arrive beautifully presented in a hand decorated gift box (at no extra cost), making them the perfect Christmas gift!

Today is also the last day of my Wool Week celebration. Until the end of today you can take 20% off all items in my Etsy Shop- just use the code WOOLWEEK20 at the checkout.

 I'm working hard on some new knitted designs to add to the shop in the coming weeks, watch this space!

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...

I love to use wool as I find the process of creating your own fabric fascinating and it's something I've grown up with. My Etsy shop is stocked with handmade wool accessories, from knitted rings to Harris Tweed brooches that I create to fuel my love of wool and the traditional crafts applied to it. They make ideal Christmas gifts or a treat for yourself  to accessorise your Autumn look,
