Hello and thank-you for visiting my pages. I do hope that you enjoy your visit.
Here is just a little bit about myself.
My Hobbies
I make Bobbin Lace and Needle Lace. I also like to Knit, Crochet and do the odd bit of Tatting. I have been Knitting since I was a child. My mother knitted Shetland lace and taught me to knit when I was 6 years old. She tried many times to teach me but being left handed it took me a while to learn. I enjoy Knitting anything including fine lace. I began to crochet when I was about 14 years old. My Great Aunts used to do Irish Crochet.
I have discovered Machine Knitting but I have much to learn. I machine knit long lengths; in pure wools and felt these in the washing machine. This fabric is then used to make up into things, waistcoats mostly. It can also be made into bags, tea cosies, mittens, toys, slippers etc. The list is long. The felted fabric is warm. I like to combine all techniques creating something new. I call my waistcoats etc:
My Rustyx.
I like to design my own projects wether it is lace, knitted, crocheted or felted. I have just started designing some simple tatted motifs.
My Designs
I enjoy designing my own projects. A few of my patterns are available on my website in the pattern page. I never used to write things down but now I do and I hope eventually to get more of my patterns here to share with my visitors.
E-Mail
I am always happy to hear from my visitors. There is an E-Mail link on the top of this page and I have a Visitors Book on the Felting Page for you to sign and for your comments if you so wish. |
