"The Irish Adventure Bag was designed for our trip to Ireland - and it’s an exploration of cables and seamless construction! The Irish Adventure Bag features three different cable patterns, each unique. But there is still a rhythm to it. Bobbles frame the stitching throughout, and the wrong side rows offer a little break from the post-stitch action on the other side. One of the things I’m proudest of is the technique I used to make this bag seamless - even though it’s all worked in rows, not in the round! On top of that, we only have to break the yarn once during crocheting! With only 3 skeins used, you could make this whole bag and only have 6-8 ends to weave in."

Ireland // Archival of Ireland, or Éire. This small island, with a population just over 6 million, has an astonishingly large reputation. I think their biggest export is culture! I was charmed by this Celtic land when I had the pleasure of driving from the west coast to the east coast and back again... on just ONE tank of gas! Even though I'm from the US Pacific Northwest (specifically from "The Evergreen State"), I was impressed with the many shades and intensities of green that I saw. The map highlights the geological features of the island, highlighting each county and its local authority. I chose to feature the geography of the country over the political boundary between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as the land is much older than the lines. All 32 counties are shown, and many, like County Cork, County Kerry and County Tipperary, may sound familiar to even the most far-flung ear. Sorry, no digital download option! This is an unframed archival print on high-quality watercolor paper. Watermark is not included in the actual print.
The inspiration for the House of Jamie AW23 collection was a trip to Paris. I designed a range of repeat patterns and placement artworks for rotary print.
