I'm quite excited about adding my knitted umbrella to my textiles shop. My inspiration came from American textile designer Kelly Griffith, thank you Kelly. I trawled the second-hand shops in search of the right umbrella. Eventually I found it - rather sad, unloved and languishing in a corner. I soon got rid of it's rather worn black covering and re-clothed it in its brand new hand-spun coat. What a transformation!
Squiggle shopping bag. I had lots of fun making this funky little shopping bag, using different yarns and adding squiggles randomly. It is hand-knitted and then felted so it will easily hold all your essential goodies.
In this piece I was searching to replicate the richness of my maritime palette. What I ended up with was a window or a mirror from which emerges a wave in its border because the sea, like the knitted stitches and the felting of the wool, know only their own boundaries. A deeply colourful and tactile hanging that speaks of movement.
