More Celtic Trinity Knot Shawl Pins and Ornament

I’ve been working on adding this design to our shop as shawl pins. This is the

Sterling Silver Celtic Trinity Knot Shawl Pin . It could probably work well in hair

but will only hold small amounts of hair.

And this is the Little Celtic Trinity Knot Cross Sterling Silver Shawl Pin  that would

work best on lacy light weight shawls, scarfs shrugs etc.

This design lends itself well as an ornament too!

The Celtic Trinity Knot Cross Ornament in Aluminum . I plan to add this design in

copper and as a pendant too! So much to do!

 

 

But for now there ‘s also the summer to enjoy. Our rambling roses are blooming this week.

I had a customer ask if we could do something like this with the trinity knot design.

At first I thought it would be too hard to do. But I’ve been getting the hang of

remaking this design.Embarrassingly I lost her contact information so if you are

out there and see this,

Sorry I didn’t get back to you and thanks for the suggestion!

The Celtic Trinity Knot Aluminum Pin works great as a shawl pin…

and a hair pin.

New Bass Clef Shawl Pin

In keeping with the music theme, we added the Bass Clef Shawl Pin to our shop

this week. The bass clef has been requested by many and I never really felt too

good about the designs I came up with. Those two little dots on the side are tricky!

But this design works well I think. Hope the musicians agree!

New in the shop- Big and small shawl pins

We have been asked often to make a large version of this design. Now we have

it as a regular item in our shop – the Large Celtic Infinity Loops Aluminum Shawl

Pin, Hair Pin. It can be used on extra long hair and super chunky knits.

One of our creative customers ordered  6 of these large pins to use as a curtain

tie backs.

I also the Little Boo-Knits Aluminum Lace Shawl Pin which is the “little” version

of the Boo-Knits Aluminum Shawl Pin . The little one would work better on light

weight lace knitting.

New Sterling Silver Shawl Pins

Celtic Infinity Loops Sterling Silver Shawl Pin or Brooch
Well I finally took the plunge and invested in 12 gauge sterling silver so I could start making my shawl pins in sterling silver along with super awesome aluminum. It's dramatically more expensive than aluminum. The 9 gauge aluminum costs about $.15 a foot and 12 gauge sterling silver costs about $7 a foot. That doesn't leave a lot of room for mistakes.Hence the significantly higher price for them.The silver is also a lot harder and more difficult to bend and hammer.

So I've started out by making the most popular aluminum shawl pin designs.

Celtic Heart and Swirls Sterling Silver Shawl Pin or Brooch
They've been tricky to photograph too.I think it's because they are shinier than the aluminum.

This is one of my most difficult and complex designs and uses a little more wire than the others.Although not uncomfortably heavy, it is amazing the weight difference between aluminum and sterling silver. The silver has a different look and feel than the aluminum that I hope will appeal to some knitters looking for something a little special. But I really appreciate and love my aluminum.
