When I’m designing I try to showcase the subtleties and versatility of hand-made artwork. “Remember, a clothing designer is an artist. As Michelangelo explained that he could see David inside the block of marble, we see the garment in the ball of yarn. It is the same creative process.” Here, through photos, you get a glimpse of my Travel & Lecture series with retreats and conferences shown in Europe, on both coasts of the US, and in Canada. The overriding objective remains to keep the antique cloth making art of hand knitting alive. Then, in the spirit of excellence chronicled on the16th and 17th-century European knitting guilds, I endeavor to pass along the expert skills needed for designing and constructing hand knit clothing.
