For me, colour and texture rule and most of the inspiration feeding my imagination comes from the natural world. I see knitting as art, as viable as any other, and no matter what the tool or preferred palette, in human hands, magic happens.

FAVORITE LINKS

FAVOURITE PERIODICALS: http://www.selvedge.org This periodical is so far away from mass media knit magazines that it creates a category of it's own. For serious textile enthusiasts, artists and those looking for design background articles with an illuminating perspective. Every issue is a keeper.

FAVOURITE DESIGNERS:

http://ilgaleja.com/: A personal friend whose passion for knitting is only one of the many threads that connect us, her designs are both classically elegant and exciting.

http://yarnartist.blogspot.com/: Ellene Warner knows downtown Hollywood. Even though she's worked with the stars, this lady is as down to planet earth as a creative spirit can be.

www.tradewindknits.com Anyone not know Lucy Neatby? A fellow Nova Scotian and a designer/teacher extraordinaire, there isn't anything Lucy can't teach you. Check out her DVD's.

FAVOURITE YARN SOURCES

www.SandraSingh.com : Sandra sells lovely yarns plus my patterns, too.

* work in progress, more links to come.

Recent Comments What a wonderful trip ! And so close-by .... And the time of year is perfect for a visit to Spain! I can see the JT/Amal group gathering around Gehry's Olympic Fish http://www.aviewoncities.com/barcelona/fish.htm - knitting with a view of the Mediterranean Sea - Just wanted to mention that Ryan Air is operating flights from London-Gatwick to Alicante, priced at ca. English Pounds 30. There's a good train connection between Heathrow and Gatwick.
