FIONA ELLIS


I recently took 2 classes from the internationally known fashion knit designer,

Fiona Ellis
.

How exciting to see the actual swatches and garments that went into writing her 2 recents books:

INSPIRED CABLE KNITS


and INSPIRED FAIR ISLE KNITS.

In my "Morphing Cables" class, I enjoyed following her guidelines for making cables that change and become other patterns.

The afternoon class, "The Amazing Slip Stitch Illusion" taught us several examples to add texture and colos.... follow the directions and magical illusions appear !
