Knitted and knit-related accessories hand made by designer and textile artist Ingrid Murnane. This collection of accessories was inspired by my grandmother who taught me to knit in her home in the Isle of Wight. She showed me how to make accessories out of sticks, string and whatever else you have lying about the house. She taught me the importance of making do and mending, making new from old. It was always instilled in me to remember that the new thing carried in it a memory of the old thing, and that it was important to pass this message on through textiles. I now make a series of brooches and other knit-inspired jewellery which have all been made in part or whole from upcycled materials.
