I’m traveling but that doesn’t mean I’m not machine knitting!

I am so grateful to Cristina Talpa for her make-a-scarf workshop. Amy found it via the Makery and we thought it seemed too good to pass up.

And it was! While the workshop is geared for total beginners to machine knitting, Cristina smoothly adjusted to work around things I already knew. She taught me some great new techniques and helped me improve some less-than-optimal techniques I came to the workshop with.

Plus, this scarf! I love it! Amy enjoyed posing me on an outing in Berlin today to snap a few photos.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to meet an expert (and experimental!) machine knitter, work on a garment together, and chat about the state of the craft.

Thanks so much, Cristina!

Me bundled in a scarf with strips in gray and dark and neon green, standing on a trail in autumnal woods. Me smiling, bundled in my scarf, standing in front of a fallen tree with thick reaching branches. Me bundled in a scarf of dark green, neon green, and gray sections, standing in front of a graffiti-covered wall.
