Here you will be able to read about the knitwear I make and sell, and see the photos. I mainly knit with Shetland Wool,with which I make lace scarves. I love Manos del Uruguay, which is a mixture of wool and silk, hand-spun by a women's co-operative in Uruguay. I have recently started a new range of Opera Shawls - these are all named after characters in Opera, and knitted either in Kidsilk, a mixture of Mohair and silk, or in Shetland Lace.

Saturday 26th February 2011
Here is some info from the Library's web page:
Hand Made Tales, curated by Carol Tulloch, is a timely exhibition focusing on the role domestic crafts play in many women’s experiences. It draws on the connections between the current revival of domestic crafts such as sewing, gardening, and cooking and the historical roots of the domestic arts within the home. The exhibition will allow visitors to explore and learn the stories of crafts and the women involved in them through personal tales and fun interactive projects. Come and discover treasures that share the intimate bond between generations from the once mundane to the now treasured heirlooms of families past.
