After the formal business of the AGM, we were delighted to welcome Iris Bishop who is a favourite speaker at our club. Her talk was very entertaining and the garments and samples she brought along were a real feast for the eyes. As usual her emphasis was on creating lovely fabric using her trusty machine. Many of the items had woven elements and her combinations of colours and yarn made some really fabulous innovative fabrics. The yarns used varied from the industrial fine yarn to really chunky yarn and all, amazingly, worked on a standard gauge machine.
She showed us various garments and samples as well as giving detailed descriptions of how these were created.
We all enjoyed such an inspirational speaker whose no nonsense approach to knitting gave us all hope that we can achieve some of those lovely fabrics by following her patterns.
