Hello & welcome to my Madeit Shop...
My name is Renate Kirkpatrick; I'm a Fibre Artist, Craft Teacher & Author living in sub-tropical Queensland.
Simply put, I love fibre, colour & texture & incorporate them all into my work, from natural to synthetics... anything that will help me to achieve the effects I’m after. My freeform pieces are one-off originals that take many hours to create & can never be repeated…
~ Unique, WEARABLE ART & FREEFORM CROCHET/KNIT/FIBER CREATIONS for those who 'Dare to be different'
~ Beautiful SCARVES, WRAPS & SHAWLS created in the most GORGEOUS YARNS I can find
~ Funky HATS, HEADWEAR & WINTER WARMERS to keep you cosy & warm
I hope you find something you like... for yourself or, as gifts for the special people in your life...
