We are beyond thrilled to see the in progress work of Sabine and her Dunes scarf! What a beautiful way to use Theodoras Pearls Auxanometer! It represents sand, water,and sun, and she will soon be adding a green to represent the Mangrove! In longing to be in the Caribbean she is recreating the beauty with her hands!
Join us Fiberside for Lucy Neatby September 26th at 11am.
Over the last 40-ish years Lucy has explored many areas of knitting; intarsia, lace, modules, stranded (to name but some) and had been heard to say that she has no favourites. However for the last ten years or more she’s been down the rabbit hole that is double knitting. Her addiction to double knitting was not an overnight transformation and today we’ll take a look at her journey, what double layer knitting can achieve, why it has such a mystique, and for those interested, how to set out on the adventure into this parallel knitting universe.
Fiberside Participants have an opportunity to do some double knitting along with Lucy. There is some homework to prepare before the chat- so you can join in the fun!!
