📝 Topic:
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.

Unexpected knitting is 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.

Do we know what resources have gone into our yarn and who is on the other end? Do we really understand the wool supply chain both in Canada and globally?
Topic: The feeling and smell of a brand new skein of yarn is magical, the way it feels in your hands and on your needles, the beautiful shawl or sweater it will become. But how often do we consider the people that have had a hand in creating our yarn before it is ours.
