October Membership Meeting 10/1/2024 – Xandy Peters – Unexpected Knitting
Unexpected Knitting
A half hour talk about how an open mind and willingness to make mistakes has led to interesting swatches and eventually collections of new designs in my own work. Slides showing notebook pages, inspiration images and design process demonstrate how a small idea can grow with experimentation and sometimes even mistakes become favorite new stitches.
