| Introduction | You know how when you try something on, sometimes, it fits like a glove? That was how knitting was for me. My first project was a simple, sleeveless sweater where I learned to knit, purl and decrease. I have never looked back. From the start, I have tweaked, twisted and tormented patterns into what I want rather than what I was given. I learned to write down these changes so that they could be repeated. Through this, I started developing my own patterns which I hope people will enjoy as much as I have enjoyed creating them. I soon learned to love the fibers I was using almost as much as the knitting process. I love the tactile sensations of the roughest linens as well as the smoothest silks and wools. I love their smells, their colours, even the shapes that they are wound into. This led into spinning my own yarns and eventually dyeing them This led to my newest love, weaving. I am still new at it and trying to devour as much knowledge as possible on this new journey. |
