Hello Everyone!
February
is the shortest month, one of of love, freezing cold, and colorwork!! Our
theme for this month is Faire Isle February where Caitlin Hunter of
Boyland Knitworks, www.boylandknitworks.com,
is our featured designer.
Caitlin Hunter, the designer and creator
of Boyland Knitworks is originally from Alaska, and now lives in the Oregon
forest with her husband, their three little boys, and an assorted group of all
male animals. Being the only female among all the males, she named business
"Boyland"! A bit about Caitlin - she has a degree in apparel design and
manufacturing and worked in manufacturing as a designer before making the
transition to become an independent knitwear designer. Caitlin’s training and experience show in
her designs, which are individually colorful and sophisticated. Her designs
include hats, scarves, with a range of sweaters, and our KAL for this month, the
Ninilchik Swoncho, a perfect combination between a sweater and a poncho. Caitlin’s
designs are both stylish and practical. Case in point is the Swoncho, which is
loose and easy, but the sleeves keep it in place. Caitlin believes that knitting
is an antidote to our instant-gratification world, and she loves designing garments
and accessories that can be treasured for a lifetime and longer. And that is
very lucky for us because her designs are amazing and fits nicely with our
philosophy of making beautiful things with your hands and all the wonderful
benefits derived from that. Caitlin’s
philosophy is for all of us to slow down, knit some beautiful things and
appreciate what we can do with our own hands! Caitlin reminds us that knitting is like any challenges in life
- just take it one row at a time and you will be surprised at what you can
accomplish! And we couldn’t agree more!Aim True Hat |
