NEEDLEWORK
story
Now for something completely different. After you’ve wandered into the world of “non-finito” you might also be ready to step into a new craft altogether. Let us explain. We’re not asking you to abandon yarn crafting — on the contrary, but we want you to use your knowledge of other crafts to broaden your horizon and enhance your creative thinking. All is fair to further the noble cause of the yarn movement.
Caught you off guard, hmm? Surface pattern designer Jessica Nielsen from the Netherlands had a somewhat similar response
088
when we reached out to her — “you know I do surface designs, right?” We have followed Jessica’s work for years and are secret admirers of her bold and bright colored graphic patterns.
She is the kind of crafter without borders we all aspire to be! For yarn crafters, her beautiful designs are off the chart inspirational and great practice too. Pushing our creative boundaries, we adapted her designs and used them as embroidery patterns, “non-finito” style, naturally... follow in our footsteps.
What say you? -x-
