A Fond Farewell to The Loft!

I’m saying a fond farewell to The Loft Market. Next weekend will be my last one and I will have lots of lovely pieces in stock. If anyone is looking for Christmas gifts or a special treat for themselves, I will still be selling direct from my website www.heatherfinn.com and from the studio and also through my stockists. Contact me at info@heatherfinn.com

Wishing everyone in The Loft a very busy and bustling Christmas!

Fashion Innovation Awards

Video from ‘The Irish Fashion Innovation Awards’ in Galway’s Raddison Hotel and organised by Galway Now magazine. I was thrilled to be nominated in The Fashion Designer of the Year category. It was a great opportunity to see some of my new work on the catwalk!

You can see some footage of my work in the show and an interview with me at 2 minutes and 40 seconds into the video 😉

Many thanks to Galway Now and www.goldenegg.ie!

Urban Knitting!

Picture 8

I was asked recently to post some info on a new project by Eilish Tuite of Limerick IT as part of Urban Knit Limerick which is supported by Vodafone.

‘What we want to do is cover an empty building in Limerick City with approximately 3,000 knitted patches, patches that have been knitted all over the country and sent to us by the community. The patches will be A4 in size and once 3,000 have been collected, they will be stitched together to create a blanket over the entire building. Limerick and Ireland is in some serious need of cheering up and this will do just the trick.

When the project has been completed, the blanket will be separated into smaller knitted blankets which will then be donated to the St. Vincents Community. The charity is very deserving and has helped a lot of people in Ireland, and that’s why this project will give something back to them.’

They have over 1000 patches collected but need loads more, so head over to UrbanKnitLimerick on Facebook to find out how to support them!
