Pauline with a group from knittingtours.com wearing their finished pendants.
knittingtours.com run wonderful 10 Nights South of Ireland with Aran Islands knitting tours. The focus of the tour is knitting. In addition to knitting, spinning and dyeing workshops you will also enjoy demonstrations of weaving, home baking and of course experience the charm of the Aran Islands.
Pauline teaches the very first workshop of the tour…‘ Knitting with Wire’ on your first morning in Dublin.
In the class you will learn tips and techniques for knitting with wire which is an interesting challenge for anyone who has not tried it before.
All materials will be provided and by the end of the class you should have knit yourself a nice wire leaf-with-raindrop pendant, a reminder of our soft Irish rain, for you to take home with you as a souvenir of your time here in Ireland!
