I have been working on an exciting new yarn developement for some time now and now it is finally launched this Spring - my eco collection.
eco is a beautiful aran weight yarn manafactured from organic cotton with an ecologically and socially conscious process through the Bio Re textile chain. The yarn is dyed with non toxic dyes in recyclable water which has given me the opportunity to have a wonderfully vibrant palette still within the organic concept. I photographed the collection and my other new book Summer in Morocco, a country which has always inspired me with it's wonderful textiles and culture.It was a fantastic experience marred only by one of the models, my daughter Nell, coming down with a severe throat infection so as soon as she had completed her last shot she sank down on a bed in a dark room, not to reappear for 2 days.What a proffessional! Coming up this year i will be do a presentation at the Ravelry day in Coventry on 6th June and then off to the TNNA show in Columbus and then on to New York to put the Autumn issue of the magazine " to bed". I am very excited to be involved on the Vogue Knitting Carribean Cruise which sails out from Miami on 31st October and visits Mexico and Belize between I will be teaching on the cruise along with my great friends Nicki Epstein and Carla Scott from Vogue Knitting. If you are interested in joining us go to www.TravellingTogether.net As you can see from the home page the Spring issue of the magazine is now available.Becuase of the huge demand for the Winter issue some knitters were not able to get their hands on a copy more copies have been printed of this issue so hopefully those who want one will be able to get their copy. Happy Knitting. |
