Page 5 of 12 August Meeting: Garden Palettes - Exuberant Design from Glorious Gardens Nature Photo with Yarn Wrap Cameron Taylor Brown By D’Ann Lawson Cameron Taylor Brown has immersed herself in the worlds of fiber, education and commerce since the 1970’s. She studied Fiber Art at the UC Berkeley and Textile design at the Philadelphia College of Tex- tiles and Science. She worked in New York City as a stylist of upholstery and home furnishing fabrics, taught textile design and worked as an exhibition curator. Since 1985 she has lived in LA where she maintains a studio and is active in several art organizations. She has been featured in American Craft Magazine and Shuttle Spindle and Dyepot. She teaches fiber workshops at schools, guilds, museums and conferences throughout the United States. Cameron shared with us her passion of color, shapes and textures that are found in nature and how we can translate what we see into what we make using fiber to knit, crochet or weave. Her topic was Gar- den Palettes as Inspiration. She begins each project with an image taken from a magazine or photo of nature. She then pulls together the fiber that matches, blends, and is drawn from that picture to make the hands-on project. Cameron shared several quotes from a book by Robert Irwin, Garden at the Getty Center. “I want to get the thing as exuberant, as wild, and as absolutely spectacular, color-wise, as I can.” “I’ll put color combinations together which really shock each other, where traditional gardeners would say you can’t put those colors together.” “The color is not just the color. The color is in the texture and the juxtaposi- tion..suddenly a depth of color supplied by the texture comes into play.” Cameron also shared amazing photos from her trip to Monet’s Garden in France, aa well as Zoe’s garden from a local home in Santa Barbara, and David Ellwand’s Garden, Fairie-ality.

  • Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January
    NEW YORK, NEW YORK 6,000 Knitters and Industry “Knitterati” to Gather for New Event Vogue Knitting LIVE Launches in New York City in January. Popular Classes Already Sold Out More than 53 million people know how to knit or crochet—and the number is growing. Following the successful premier of Vogue Knitting LIVE in Los Angeles last year, Vogue Knitting magazine announces a new event at the Hilton New York January 14–16, 2012 . Knitting, an ages-old craft, is taking the world by storm. Professionals, Hollywood A-listers, and rock stars have all joined the ranks of knitters, and Ravelry, a popular social media site for stitchers, boasts close to 2 million members. Its benefits are renown: A Harvard study from 2007 concluded that knitting may be as effective as medication in reducing stress. “We know that knitters love getting together at yarn stores to learn new techniques, compare projects, and hear from top designers. We’ve simply taken that to the next level by creating the largest live gathering of knitters in New York,” says Trisha Malcolm, editor of Vogue Knitting and originator of Vogue Knitting LIVE. Vogue Knitting LIVE caters to knitters at all levels—from the knit-curious to experienced designers and crafters. In 2012, knitters can expect: • More than 75 how-to sessions, some of which are already sold out. Topics like “An Overture to Estonian Lace” and “Working with Antique and Vintage Knitting Patterns” bring 200-year old techniques to new generations. Other sessions such as “Happy Hat Knitting” and “Sock Innovation” focus on specific types of projects.

He goes every year, and I’ve grown accustomed to not hearing a peep out of him as he takes in all that the show has to offer. But this year, I got a text. It was a photo of a man dressed like Batman. There was no accompanying explanation. I have no personal con- nection with Batman, so I wasn’t sure why he’d sent it to me, but then I looked more closely at the photo. The man was wearing an entirely crocheted costume! So I put the photo up on Yarn Market News’s Facebook page. (For those who saw it: yes, I pretended for the sake of a FB post that I took the photo myself.) I thought it was such a fantastic costume, and hoped I’d get some likes. Responses started rolling in, faster than I usually get on Facebook posts. A few people thought it gave crocheters a bad name.

  • TKGA MHK Bibliography
    TKGA Master Hand Knitting Program Bibliography Purpose and Introduction This bibliography serves as a guide to published books for fulfilling the research required for the Master Hand Knitting program. Participants are not required to buy these books. Many of the books are available at local libraries and through interlibrary loan. Not all information in these books is guaranteed to be correct. Many books have valuable information, and while most of the information will be accurate and presented well, some incorrect material may also be included. Where possible, research a subject in more than one source to confirm accuracy. Research is the foundation of the Master Hand Knitting Program. The program directions are designed as a guide for independent study. The more research you do for each item in the packet, the more you will benefit from the program. This bibliography should serve as a starting point in your research. Participants are encouraged to seek out other resources as well. Every book or source you use will have its own resource list. This is a great place to start branching out when researching a topic. Each level will require more resources than the previous level. As you use a resource, place it in your own resource list. This list should be included in your notebook and sent with your submission. See Appendix A in the Instruction Packet for further information on composing your Resource list. All items in the submission, except for your personal opinion, should include two references with a notation that refers to your resource list. The notation should give enough information so the reviewers can find the resource in your list.
