FO 2013This piece is a little more recent, 1 year old, a project from last fall, or perhaps even earlier if I were to get into dating the hand dyed and hand spun yarns! <br />

<br />
December is also a time to finish a project or two. This year, I picked up the my first attempt at knitting a sweater without a pattern from seven years ago. I had knit the body using a beautiful Noro yarn and then I reached a point where my required knitting skills need not match my actual knitting skills.I set it aside for the passage of time. <br />
<br />
This winter I picked up that sweater, from another time. Filled with memories and ready to add with new ones. I read the stitches and saw what little tips have I have picked up since I last put down this sweater. Knit on to completion!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">December- A time for things to come to an end, a journey in time with a sweater instead of a tardis</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Here are a couple tips to share with you! <br /><ul>
<li>Change over yarns at the end of a row when you are starting a new ball. (simple but effective!)</li>
<li>Letting go of trying to control the tension when grafting. I had seamed the tops of the shoulders too tight! </li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It still needs a little tweaking, a little longer sleeves with a thumb-hole....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Any tips that you have recently picked up that has helped you on your knitting journey?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can imagine how this story begins with Dela crocheting her way across Canada viaRail. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fibre arts, like crocheting, knitting or spinning in public are a sure way to draw in curious people that remember a fibre connection in their family. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A grandma who taught them how to knit, has a spinning wheel, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">or something they have never encountered before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With Dela's generous nature, I can imagine her showing someone how to crochet or knit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"I just happen to have some extra yarn and a crochet hook." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Any serious fibre artist will come with several projects :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The fibre arts community draws, creates a<span style="font-size: large;">n</span> atmosphere of generosity, commitment and passion that is worthy of recognition through these radio stories. What better medium than one that draws on the magic of story telling on radio. </span><br />

Aside from Fibrations, this is the only event that <b>Knotty By Nature</b> does. For the last of couples months and on a daily basis Ryan has been dying <b>vibrant colors</b> of<br />
<ul>
<li> tussah & bombyx silks;</li>
<li> merino& silk;</li>
<li> merino & bamboo; and</li>
<li> super fine merino. </li>
</ul>
All of these fibres are matched with hand dyed silk scarves to create a beautiful base create a beautiful nuno-felted scarf.... but that's another post. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The spin-in will be an entire day of spinners, spinning wheels and tonnes of colorful fluffly fleece.<br />
<br />
A cool part of the spin-in a re the vendors; there are eight this year, possibly the most ever. This is a perfect opportunity to get your hands on the nicest locally prepared Vancouver Island fleeces and also lovely fibres from around the world. These fibres are really awesome for not only spinning but also needle felting and wet felting.<br />

Knitting can be such a great essential skills builder, any sweater requires the <a href="http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/LES/profiles/profiles.shtml" target="_blank">nine essential skills </a>that can develop as you challenge yourself with complexity in knitting:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li class="item first">Reading </li>
<li class="item altRow">Document Use </li>
<li class="item">Numeracy </li>
<li class="item altRow">Writing </li>

</ol>

Knitting this sweater also required perseverance, determination, dedication, detachment, and love of the challenge and the yarn I <a href="http://www.diamondyarn.com/d/yarn/55-supersoft-10-ply/" target="_blank">chose</a>.

The Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula is hosting the
Fourth Annual Invitational First Nations and Métis Art Show this fall at
the Arts Centre at Tulista Park in Sidney. The Arts Council extends an
invitation to come and experience this exciting annual event held in
traditional Coast Salish territory.<br />
<br />
This is a unique art show in Canada, because it represents all the
First Peoples designated by the Government of Canada. While there have
been one time art exhibitions, this is the first continuous art show that
has represented First Nations artists from across Canada. Alongside
the local Coast Salish territories artists, there are also artisans from
the Métis, Mohawk, Blackfoot, Cree, Ojibway, Navajo, Inuit, and
Chickasaw Nations.<br />
<br />
To quote Mayor Larry Cross of Sidney: “The show has grown
exponentially over the past 3 years and is important to the Town of
Sidney in building community relations and understanding the spirit of
the First Nations cultures.”<br />
<br />
Some
of the Arts Council’s stated purposes are to nurture an appreciation of
visual and performing arts within the community, and to provide artists
with exposure to local audiences by providing opportunities for artists
to perform or exhibit their work locally. This function touches the
very roots of the objectives of the Arts Council and reaches out to
bridge gaps and promote understanding within the region.<br />
<br />
Both traditional and emerging lower island artists with First Nations
and Métis heritage including a wide variety of backgrounds and
experience will be featured.<br />
Two returning artists Virgil Sampson and Tobias Tomlinson are working
together with the Arts Council to produce a quality art show which
promises to include an outstanding collection of work. They have
contacted over fourty new and returning artists who are expected to show
their art, interact with the public and demonstrate their work. A few
of the artists anticipated to take part include Charles Elliott, Chris
Paul, Doug Lafortune, Frank Lewis. Charlene George, Debbie Hunt, Mark
Henry, Lindsay Delorande, Stephanie Papik and Kevin Brophy.<br />
<br />
The whole gallery will be displayed to reflect the intent and spirit
of the event. Stories and music will add to the ambiance of the ever
changing show. The diversity of art expressions will include: carving,
weaving, prints, fabric art, drums, rattles, pottery, beading, leather
work, painting, jewelry and some that might surprise you! Don’t miss
your opportunity to win one of the fabulous prizes donated by Tobias
Tomlinson, Dylan Thomas and Frank Lewis. Come often to meet many of the
artists, see changing displays.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nuno felt is derived from the Japanese word "nuno" meaning cloth. The technique fuses wool into a sheer fabric such as silk
gauze, creating a lightweight felt. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nuno felting often incorporates
several layers of loose fibres combined to build up colour, texture,
and/or design elements in the finished fabric. </span></div>
