Free Form Lace with Myra Wood


Myra's class on free form lace was probably the most fun of all! As you can probably tell from the photo (even though you can't see her face) she is full of exuberance, humor and energy.



Here is a better look! (Note she still isn't standing still!)


We learned to knit lace without a pattern. Here are some examples of the kinds of lace that Myra was able to come up with using her method.


It was very difficult for some of our class members, because they really wanted rules about how to be creative. By doing random holes symmetrically Myra made this lovely pattern.




After class I took a few random pictures of the hotel. It was wonderful to be in a big expensive hotel and see women sitting everywhere knitting!


The architecture was absolutely lovely. The lack of symmetry in using geometric shapes really gave the place eye appeal.


I got a kick out of the frosted glass "portholes" in the ladies' room.


These decks sure didn't look like they ever needed swobbing!
