Meet The Maker
Annette Herriot
Annette bides in Yell. She has been crafting since she was peerie and enjoys trying out different crafts. With plenty of ideas for projects bouncing around in her head Annette wishes she had more hours in the day and if you're a makker too you will recognise this problem.
Most of Annette's time now is taken up making Vikings, sheep cards and robins and if Annette isn't working you are likely to find her knitting.
A little over a year ago Annette was knitting a gonk and her dad suggested she should try a Viking. She designed and made one that same day and has been making them ever since with only a couple of minor tweaks to her original idea.
Let's take a look at Annette's work ...

Hand Knitted Vikings
Annette uses Shetland wool for the Vikings and the robins and her mam uses it for the sheep bodies too.
