Time Flies Faster Than My Hands in NYC!—
Gosh! It was only 2 weeks ago.
NOW that I’m out of Completion Mode, I can post in gratitude to the creatives I sought out making my time worth the freeze!
1. Hanging with , a longtime friend and multi-skilled Artisan (her chainmail metal work! Her crochet!). I’ll be instructing her Size Inclusive Design with her purchase of Garment Designer!
2 & 3. Holding the digital printout instructions of my sweater design, with Susan Lazear of Her three decade, game changing CAD design program works for All crafts and includes style sets to build your designs—In Whatever Size You Want!
4, 5 & 6. The accomplished Keira
Her sumptuously dyed wools and blends. My hand spun, crocheted swatch, motivated my students to start learning right away!
7, 8 & 9. A CROCHET KNAPSACK. Who Else can design and develop an accessory as such, but my Menswear God, Nassat . A multifaceted Designer/Artisan, he brings an aesthetic to the medium, putting him in the league with Kid Super and beyond—Fashion, take notice! We already are!
10. Dearest first walked into Mantra Monday group with a mis-informing YouTube knitting pattern. We became friends, and since that time she has transformed into one of the Most Stylish knitters, volunteered at VKLive!, and has a love of lace, that I’m Dying to design her custom dress kit for!
The warmth and offerings of colleagues and friends are what makes needles, hooks and yarns feel good in your hands. 🙌🏾 ❤️🧶
