I am a retired teacher, with a lifelong passion for fibre crafts, including spinning, weaving, crochet and hand and machine knitting.

I enjoy using fibre crafts in different ways, and adapting skills to make jewellery has held my interest
for a few years now. As with most of what I do, the basic skills are simple, but I love to use creativity to develop these further, to make unique items, and encourage others to do the same.

Skills required

Basic knitting skills.

Preparation

No preparation required.

What to bring

Knitting needles (size about 4mm), preferably not metal as it takes the colour of the wire.

Additional material

Lynda will provide wire and additional patterns will be available.
