Design is all about detail: from colour & collars to pattern & texture. And of course beautiful,
quality wool and cotton yarns... |
 I love playing with collar detail: it's the element that can clinch a design choice. It's dramatic to photograph a high collar, but my designs always have collar & length options. The Pippa Sweater button-up shoulder detail lets you wear the collar open. All these collars are round but also slightly wider than average. This lets the neckband be 3cm deep or 15cm as a high collar. Hemline and rib details are a key element too, my side seam cables when seamed create a cable matching the cables within the body of the knitting. |

| Zoom Intarsia Class October |
USA Fri 8th 7 - 9pm/ Sydney Sat 9th 11am - 1pm
For a knitter, the wrong side of the knitting also tells a story |
 The Bee Bee Jacket is knitted in Intarsia with a ball/ length of yarn per area of colour. The top left image shows how this twisting/interlocking looks on the wrongside of the knitting. Simple Intarsia, like the Bee Bee Jacket, can be knitted from a diagram rather than a graph. My class will cover how to join and interlock colours, additionally interlocking colours for a multi-colour cast on as shown left. |

Zoom Knitting Garments with Mitres Class October: USA, Saturday 9th 7 - 9pm (CT)
Sydney, Sunday 10th 11am - 1pm |
Knitting Mitres is quite simple, garment construction with Mitres is also simple but is quite different.
This two hour class gives you an up close look at garments, some designs almost totally made with Mitres and many using panels of Mitres.
The image right shows the Mitre Tally Ho Jacket, with stitches picked up to allow for shoulder shaping.
The class is about garment construction so homework before the class is essential. The homework will be emailed prior to the class, and can be completed after the class.
