Each
piece is handmade on my narrowboat home in the Midlands of England.
I gain much of my inspiration from the beautiful nets traditionally used
as porthole covers which I see as we travel about on the canals, so I do
not claim originality for any of them! They look beautiful
in any setting, as a table decoration or even as a wall
or window hanging, as well as being ideal for porthole covers.
The original working narrowboats were travelling homes to the people who worked on them and to brighten their tiny living cabins the womenfolk would make crochet trimmings for every possible use. For a fascinating description of the lives of canal boat people please visit: http://www.canaljunction.com/narrowboat/crochet.htm As I complete new items they will be added here so please bookmark this site and call again soon! If you would like to buy any of these designs, please use the 'E-mail me' button at the bottom of this page. |
