- About Me:
- The photo is of my grandmother "Nanny" at about age 16 (Emma Jeska Ryder.) Everyone says I look just like her, and I like the dress! I am young great grandmother who has been playing (and working) with fiber arts since childhood. It is only recently that I have gotten an obsession with knitting, however. Past forays into knitting included using my handspun yarn for the children's winter hats, and other small projects. About 3 years ago, I learned to do Fair Isle using both Continental and English knitting at the same time. I love it. Lately, I've been making wool socks for the family, and am learning the magic loop method. I've had especially good luck "fulling" the wool socks that turned out too large, and fulling a great Fair Isle hat for a handicapped friend. I wasn't sure if the patterns would still be nice after fulling, but it turned out great.
