From Denmark to Tacoma

All day Saturday I took this FABULOUS class from Vivian Hoxbro, called Shadow Knitting. Vivian is a Designer & Teacher from a tiny village in Denmark where her home overlooks the sea. She very talented, down to earth and a wonderful person. And shadow knitting is fun and easy with a cool surprise. Here Vivian is showing us a bunch of sample squares that she has done.

The cool thing is that from this angle they look like pretty basic stripes.


But when they turn you see the very cool pattern that comes out. Neato. Ask Jewel sometime. She is making an alien scarf with this technique, if she ever gets it done. So get knittin' Jewel & maybe, just maybe you can model it on a Monday Night before June. Jewel, this is your challenge.
