Freeform Knitting


How did I end up in this alternate universe of freeform knitting and crocheting? My friend Jo Anna is really into this creative art form. Because of her enthusiasm I signed up for a one day session with Prudence Mapstone, the guru. I rode the light rail and my friend Leslie met me. We drove over to SWTC in Tempe. Prudence is from Australia - her work is indescribable. Take a look at her samples. Don't look for anything like this from me very soon. I learned a few new stitches (whew - very challenging!) and a whole new way to look at knitting.

Yep, I am a long time knitter but not fancy things. SWTC - Southwest Trading Company a wholesale place - they hold some unique workshops. I tried to put the link in. http://www.soysilk.com/prudence.html
