Back in April, I flew to Washington, DC to spend one glorious month with my grandchildren, using their home as my hub for teaching venues.
On two different weekends, I taught at The Knitting Boutique in Glen Burnie, MD. Dianna, the owner, is a phenomenon! She is the most gracious, lovely, innovative, hard-working, creative, interesting, smart, and intelligent person I have ever met. Obviously I can not say enough nice things about her and her wonderful associates. Get yourself to her website: http://knittingboutique.com
Mother’s Day Weekend at The Knitting Boutique and Swing Knitting
Famous Knitter Brigitte Elliott joined us on Mother’s Day Weekend to teach Swing Knitting and the Dreambird Shawl. Roses for our mothers started the day Sunday and then we all began making “feathers” to our Dreambird Shawl. What a great weekend!
Happy Mother’s Day!
The different feathers of the Dreambird Shawl created by each knitter.
Jūl Designs
Another place I visited was Jūl Designs in Savage, MD. Laura Bellows is principle owner and designer of the most innovative "jewelry" for knitwear in the form of closures and buttons. She also has accessories for handbags to adorn the most artistic as well as traditional satchels. Laura's studio is located at Savage Mill, an historic structure that has abundant charm surrounded with an atmosphere of creativity and beauty of colorful foliage.
Please take the time to read about Dr. Laura's (yes, she has a doctorate degree) Balinese connection and co-owner/artist, Augus Astradhi.
Here are some Jūl designs. . . .
The latest "treasure" is Naga, the beautiful Indonesian dragon, related to either fire or water.
Below is one of many unique and practical closures Jūl Designs offers.
