Two Studio Knitters; One Mind

I could also have called this post the Apotheosis of Lace knitting I guess -- given that these two talented knitters are standing in front of the lace curtains at the end of the studio hall.  These are Pat (red sweater) and Brenda (green sweater).  They are very good friends and are two of the cherished Studio Knitters that come by Threads of Meaning on Tuesday nights.  These two sweaters are both the Katherine Hepburn which I notice is available as a free download on Ravelry.  These two were knit up from Pam Allen and Ann Budd's Lace Style by Interweave which is a book that I recommend as very worthwhile for lace knitters with some experience.  They are also both knit up of Quince (Pam Allen's yarn company) in the sportweight Chickadee.  I have heard wonderful things about the Quince yarns in general and raves from these two ladies in particular.  It is a lovely soft merino wool with great bounce, softness and what we refer to in the studio as "squishyness".

Links to all the pertinent details (where to buy the book, where to buy the yarn, what other people at Ravelry have knit up this pattern) are all embedded in the text.  But what I would like you to notice is how happy these two are, what good friends they are, and how they are working on the rest of us to do a Threads of Meaning KAL so that we can all go out in public in matching sweaters.  (Actually I don't know that last part for sure....I'm just suspicious.)

    About Martha


    The Threads of Meaning is a collection of my hand made creations and the materials I use to make them.  I quilt, sew, spin, knit, crochet, weave, make dolls, rugs (hooked and braided) and tat. I have had articles in Art and Antiques (May 2001) and American Quilter (Ultimate Projects 2004). I have sold work to the State of Hawaii and some very dedicated private collectors. I dye my own fibers and use vintage and new materials. I tend to prefer traditional techniques and natural materials used in innovative ways.
