Twined knitting


Although I am doing two art journals, filled with family art memobalia I found the time on Saturday to take a class on Twined knitting. Taught by Beth Reinsel-Brown, one could not ask for more information. We saw photos of the old Swedish knitting and samples Beth brought to us. One interesting piece showed a sweater with the knitted sleeves sewn into an embroidered garment - all done by an expert tailor. It was amazing.

This photo is of Beth's fingerless mitts.

The class was at Knit or Dye www.knitordye.com in Brattleboro., VT, a lovely shop on Main St.

Brattleboro is a lovely town. Think shop small - lots of fun shops, a good bakery, restaurants, the Brattleboro Food Coop.
