Fiona Ellis

Fiona taught last night for our guild meeting. If you have a guild and are looking for an instructor, I would highly recommend her. She put everyone at ease while they were playing with their cables.

We did morphing cables. Fiona is famous for her morphing cables…cables that change and become other patterns. In this workshop she will show you the basic principles of how to get started designing your own cables. Even if you are not an advanced cable knitter, give it a try. Simple patterns can morph and create unique ideas. If you love cables but find working vertical patterns too repetitive and want to heighten the challenge, this workshop is a must! Because this is normally a 3 hour workshop and we only had 2 there was homework to do in advance. This worked out great because everyone could start right away into playing.

She also brought garments from her new book Inspired Cable Knits. It is always fun to see the garments in person.

You guys are very lucky; Fiona rocks! She is so nice and such a great knitter/designer. She'd be great for the retreat!
