I often wonder what it is that makes my work just a bit different and I've realized that I really treat the knitting as fabric and more of a canvas. This is why I end up with a lot of embroidery and surface work or combination knit and crochet. I rarely considered the finished knit, "finished" unless I've been able to manipulate it further in some way.
Hence my workshop.........Surface embellishment, overdesign or how to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.......Okay, too lengthy for a title....Help me folks.... I am thrilled and can hardly wait to drag the laptop to Blenz, sit in the comfie chair with an Americano and let the workshop flow onto paper....Now it could be a total flop and nobody may be interested in taking it...
Let's see what I can pull together. If nothing else, it should be entertaining to watch me teach it!
My last few days have been devoted to a store order. Barefoot Contessa has two stores in Vancouver. Very gorgeous and shi, shi. Eva will be carrying the baby pirate hats in the Commercial Drive and Main Street location.
The rest of the time has gone to resizing the Beehive hat to infant and 2-4 year size....Not as easy as I thought it would be .....new pattern worked out over 10 hats....arghhhh. But the results....just lovely...
