Hi all, I too am still finding out about this great site. I have been a knitter since 1992, pretty much self taught. This means I have reinvented the wheel lots of times! I look forward to finding out about everyone and getting and giving info and inspiration for all fiber art...

I thought I asked about Picot edging somewhere?? But seem to have gotten no reply as you Americans would say...Am now half way through knitting a thick garter stitch jacket from a very rritating Rowan pattern so knocked out picot as on size 10mm needles it had holes which looked AWFUL so must attempt some form of edging perhaps a crochet edge to jacket and collar to make a feminine frill to it after....

Hi everyone,
I just found the Fibre Focus site by chance yesterday ...it will take me a little time to get organized as far as photos of my work...I have to rely on my husband to get photos into a form for the net. Must learn to do it myself!!!!
We actually having a sheepskin business making ugg boots car seat covers & basically anything that people want in sheepskin.woolshedsheepskinproducts.com
However my passion is really knitting wool & I have been knitting for many years. I have been making large throws in the last few years using many different textures in wools & beads . Now I have just recently been seeing freeform knitting that I feel will fit in with my work. But where do I start were do I get information on wrapping & other methods? I know how to felt but I am sure there are many other methods I need to learn. If anyone knows of sites I would appreciate it greatly.

I can't wait to see your bag, scarfitup!

I love free form knitting, Evie, and have just begun to really implement it. My profile pic is a freeform knitted mask from stainless steel and silk thread.

I am still learning how to use ning, so if I am tardy responding to threads or otherwise making faux-pas, please forgive. I'll get the hang of it eventually!

Would love to see the bags, DreamWoven...click on the blue/green square above the dialogue box to add photos.

Scarfitup - how did your felted bag turn out in the washing machine? It's always fun and nervewracking to see how different fiber and textile contents come out of the wash...

i do evie..... for me, the idea of being able to 'join' things has always been a seductive thought for me. different fibers/different textiles/different methods.... i did a couple of bags, a couple of years ago (one was stolen out of a shop) that were a combo of different fibers and techniques.... there was so much joy in making them. if i can figure out how to post a pic here in the comments, i'll post them.
