Have you ever seen such fine knitting?..... Yes this is knitting!
Elaine Dobbing has a skill few aspire to.. she uses luxure fibre such as silk, alpaca and merino wool to hand craft these exquisite scarves, and shawls.... embellished with exotic beadwork to subtly decorate and enhance each piece...... they are quite simply superb!
Elaine can usually be found farming in West Burton with her husband... or working in her business on the village green... Smithy Antiques and Collectables has been featured on The Antiques Road Trip in the last two series... so you might have met her already..... but wondered where the shop was located...... If you visit you'll catch her quietly knitting in the back of the smithy (and in winter warm yourselves next to her little Pot Shaped Wood burner)....... and when she's done you can buy what she makes in Fabric of the Field......... or on her new on line shop on this web site... click Home Accessories & Textiles and look for Elaine Dobbing.....
