This is the first of several posts for people who are interested in my workshops at the Taos Wool Festival. I tried to publish them privately, but they are so private, even I can’t look at them.
In Great Design Skills for Knitting or Crochet, we’ll design an underwater scene on the fly, and knit or crochet it in class. We’ll do it all with no gauge swatches and minimal notes. It is a great exercise to blast through designer’s block, or to give yourself a jump-start toward designing for the first time.
Here’s a sample similar to what we will make in class:
I taught this class for machine knitters at Camp Iwannaknit, which you can read about (among other workshops) in the Workshops category on my blog. Since that sample is machine-knitted, it is bigger than ours will be, but the principles are the same.
Check back with me later in the summer for a crocheted sample.
If you would like to see where this can lead, check out some of the knitted, embellished quilts I have made at Works.
