Yesterday I held a knitted wire and bead jewellery making workshop in Gnosall, Staffordshire
Knitting with wire isn't difficult but it does take a bit of getting used to!
I love introducing people to wire and bead knitting and a workshop provides a good introduction.
None of my attendees yesterday had ever knitted with wire before, most left with completed bracelets and those that didn't took their work home with them along with the clasps and instructions to complete them at their leisure.
I also provided a pattern for knitted earrings so an extra project to continue with at home or make during the workshop if they had time.
Here are a few of the photos I took during the afternoon.
