Description
I've been a hand knitter and sewer all my life (my mom had a yarn shop for 30 years), and was introduced to knitting machines around the Millennium holiday. I was amazed at the speed at which I could produce items and the quality they produced and quickly got hooked.
Being an artist in various mediums, I am thrilled to be able to create wearable art with the fibers available for knitting. I usually start with a basic pattern and spice it up with use of color or fancy stitches. My two favorite machine knitting toys are the SIlverReed SK860 (electronic) and the Brother KH970 (electronic). I like the electronics, because I can use a software program called Design-A-Knit to design patterns and garment shapes, then download those creations to the knitting machine, thread up the colors and away I go.
Most of the stitch patterns depicting natural scenes have been adapted from photographs I have taken with a camera, then scanned and graphed out into knittable designs.
