I haven't knitted anything in a long time until I tried knitting some wire (I read on a website somewhere that you can knit with wire so thought I would give it a go). I used large needles and 28 gauge wire (threaded some seed beads onto the wire first so that I could knit them into the design as I went) , cast on 5 stitches and just knitted. The seed beads (and a few crystal beads) were added randomly. I knitted about 4 inches then cast off (did this twice so that I could make the necklace shown). The necklace and earrings both have these diamond shaped accent beads, plus seed beads, a few crystal beads and cone beads. We also sell the earring findings, head pins and clasps.

Hi Karen, I work at The Custome House, and we have an Art Gallery there, and next year we have a knitting exhibition. Not just an ordinary knitting exhibition, but unusual items. We are on the edge of the Tyne , and one of the things we will have is a big knitted ship (huge). Im going to pass this link on to the visual arts manager to look at.

Just gorgeous Karen. I love the colours you have used, and to think this is knitted as well. You are so talented. This should feature in a magazine or book. Wish i had the talent to knit like that. All i managed to knit was baby clothes for my 4 kids,lol.
