Fiber Optics and Yarns  (56 KB)
by Diane Mulholland
When I was very little, my mother taught me how to spin and knit. She taught me many other skills, but these are the two that have endured through years of dabbling in new crafts and activities. Over the years, our love for crafts has been a special bond. Mum and I talk to each other when we need to let it all out about a new hobby, an exciting project, or problems that need an expert solution.

A Conversation with Kathryn Alexander and Jillian Moreno (92 KB)
One is an avid knitter, fiber junky, and spinner; the other is the mother of all yarn play, known far and wide for her uninhibited color play and lively, energized handspun yarns. Meet Jillian Moreno, coauthor of Big Girl Knits, and Kathryn Alexander, spinner, knitter, and teacher extraordinaire. They met for the first time at SOAR (Spin-Off Autumn Retreat) 2007 when Jillian took Kathryn’s three-day workshop, “Understanding the Energy in Singles: Energy as surface in knit cloth.” |
