We all know that most winter scarves are knitted with yarn, well why not have a fabric scarf or even a combination of both – knit and fabric together. Here is a collection of new scarves which will be available for purchase in November 2010 @ my “Open House” at the EssenC Design Knitwear Studio on Sat 20th and Sun 21st November 2010. The scarf designs are in tune with my regular knitted designs – same design, different material. Beautiful colours and textures, something different on the Irish Knitwear scene. What do you think???

Want to know what scarves are looking like for autumn / winter 2010 on the Irish Knitwear scene, then have a look at the scarves below. There are many colours available within the range, and many different accessories (flower brooches, bow brooches, pom pom brooches) which can be pinned onto the scarf to add more detail to it or change the look of it. Enjoy choosing your Irish Scarves

It’s not long now until the time for trick or treat. If you are designing and making your own costume this why not make it using odds and ends from around the home. recycling is a great way to make a fun and innovative design. if you would like some KNITTED FABRICS, FELTED KNITWEAR or scraps to make your own DESIGN, please get in touch and all left-over spools, YARNS and IRISH KNITWEAR FABRICS will be supplied free of charge. there are always left-overs after making designs within the collection which i collect and supply to schools for FASHION COURSES, individuals interested in FASHION and art. it’s my way of recycling my own leftovers. why not send me a picture of the designs you create. Happy Halloween.
