Knit a community together, drawing each thread closer and linking with the others. Knit a row, purl a row, knit a row, purl a row. Knit for the baby not yet born a hooded shawl, tiny feet warmers, a blanket dyed with marigold's gold. Knit with your great-aunt's needles, smooth wood or ivory, the mouths of whales, clicking softly, softly. Knit and purl, and knit and purl, and knit and purl, and knit.
--Rachel Snyder, 365 Words Well Being for Women
The knitted item in the photo is a shawl created from mohair, different types of wool and tweed. It is a free form knitting..........add the colours I want, use one kind of yarn as often as I want........really fun and different than following a pattern.
It's a technique I learnt at Knit East that happened in 2011 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick.
