Hello, I’m Fiona O’Driscoll, and this is my website. My knitted creations celebrate the natural world, the warmth of childhood and the wonderful variety of colours and textures available to me. I always use freshly washed natural fleeces from a local organic sheep farm to stuff the knitted animals as the environment and sustainability are very important to me.
I live in Leitrim in the hidden heartlands of Ireland . I am surrounded by natural bogland and woods and my garden is regularly visited by wild animals. The badgers, hedgehogs, mice, pine martins, foxes, shrews, rabbits,hares and many birds that pass through give me inspiration for the animals I create. As I create each piece by hand they have their own unique personality and I am always changing my range to keep collectors interested and to stay fresh.
I sell my work directly, just contact me by email sundew37@gmail.com. My work is perfect for posting, unbreakable, light and no best before date! I also supply a few wonderful shops, Strokestown Park, http://www.strokestownpark.ie/, Beech hill garden centre in Cork and the Leitrim Design House https://leitrimdesignhouse.ie/ in Carrick on Shannon . I enjoy craft fairs too and sometimes share a stand with my very talented brother Niall Miller of Fuinseog Woodland Crafts.

What could be more lovely than a pair of handknit fingerless gloves, in the colour of your choice and with a fair isle design of your favourite thing? With a long cuff to keep your wrists warm and giving freedom to your thumb and fingers so you can use your phone or scratch your nose. Here are some examples of ones I have made, with bats, bees, acorns, dogs, hearts, foxes or no pattern, just your favourite colours. I make them to order in 2 adult sizes (€20)and also in a child size(€15). Post is usually €2
Hand knit in pure wool and stuffed with organic fleece, a special series of bears, no two the same! €20 each and postage extra

Broc Nollaig, new for Christmas 2019, creating a new tradition of a Christmas Badger. These little fellows join the Christmas hedgehog and look great hanging from a tree or from a car mirror. They are light and easy to post and very soft as they are stuffed with lamb fleece. Some have Santa hats and some are glittery but all are very cute
This is the organic farm where the wool I use to stuff my creations comes from. It is a beautiful family farm on the banks of the river Shannon in Leitrim. Sometimes they have to hand rear a lamb or two and I enjoyed meeting this one yesterday. Spending time with this family and seeing their love and respect for nature is always inspiring.
