This has included stints as everything from retailing right through to buying from top end European design houses, product promotion, fashion parades etc. etc. Operating as a fashion consultant extended these skills and also offered the chance to create complete wardrobes for individuals and corporate customers in effect creating the “total image“ for each client. During this exposure to top end fashion I have always felt knit has been the country cousin in the fashion stakes so one of my goals as a knitwear designer is to raise awareness and bring knit to the fore by creating designs which reflect its unique appearance versatility and texture. My involvement with Machine Knitting started with the purchase of my first machine only 20 years ago [a Brother 940 with ribber] This came with 3 free lessons and after that it was time to explore and push some of the boundaries with this wonderful new machine, within a year we had a market stall and party plan business specializing in knitted garments for the fuller figure and custom made pieces. All the garments were designed and made by myself the styles ranged from winter knits through to after 5 wear and evening gowns and everything in between. Due to an illness we decided to close down the business but wanted to stay within the field of knit so we opened our specialized machine knit store DORMANI YARNS selling machines, yarns, books etc. However I missed the opportunity to design so submitted a number of concepts to Machine Knit News in the UK, these designs were accepted and I was commissioned to write for the magazine and I now write regularly for Machine Knit Monthly also based in the UK. -5- 1, 2 & 3 “PICTURE PERFECT” This workshop draws its inspiration from every day images. I feel that so often in our everyday lives we look but we do not see!! I took this as my starting point. My concept is that each day in our travels we see patterns/designs that I felt had the potential to translate into knit fabric. The idea is not that we replicate these images but that we look at the visual and see how that can be a trigger to develop a knit pattern or fabric. Sometimes the simplest of materials can produce amazing starting points – fencing wire, a security grill and tree bark to mention but a few. I will take you on the journey from the flat image through pattern and yarn trials and subsequently on to the finished textile and or garment. Tony Bennett Workshop 2 Anne Baxter During this period I was also approached and accepted an offer from CIT (Central Institute of Technology) to lecture on machine knit in their fashion and textile department. The 3 year degree course is aimed at emerging talented students who want to make fashion a career and with knit now becoming more important in the fashion arena this has become an important part of the course. Costumes for stage and theatrical productions have been an area I have really enjoyed designing for, although the principles of knit are the same the challenge to produce period or specific items requires a different mindset often with lots of research but the process is no less rewarding. I have submitted entries in a number of competitions and been fortunate enough to receive over 300 awards in both fashion design as well as wearable art sections including the inaugural wearable art RAS award and in 2012 I was presented with the WA Wool Designer of the year award with one of my creations receiving wool garment of the year award. Knit is my passion and I will strive to lift its image to the general public and to share my ideas and concepts with other machine knitters. 4, 5 & 6 “DARE TO DESIGN” The concept behind this demo is to look at more current styles and shapes of knit that reflect a more up to date fashion statement. The combination of techniques and shapes we will explore present a more relaxed silhouette suitable for all ages. As well as shapes we will also explore a number of techniques and fabrics that are ideal for such garments. I like to think of this as a” K.I.S.S.” challenge [keep it simple stupid] this is my attempt at dragging the concept of machine knitted garments into the current fashion stakes. There will always be a special place in my heart for that beautiful classic knit but our machines allow us the potential to create so much. Anne Baxter has been involved with NZMKS for 7, 8, 9 & 10 over 30 yrs starting as a Passap demonstrator for local Area workshops. She has been Seminar “LINKER MYSTERIES Delegate, Councilor and is on the National Tutor’s REVEALED” List. Anne has been using a Hague linker for over 25 yrs & finishes nearly all her garments using a Anne will be revealing some linker. of her linker tips & tricks she has learned over the last 25 yrs using a Hague linker for sewing up garments, even hand knits, and finishing off edges. There will be some linkers available in the class so you can take the opportunity to have a handson experience or improve your skills if you already use one. -6- Doreen Berge Marilyn Clement Doreen started knitting on a Singer machine over 40 years ago and took to it like a duck to water. When a lady put an ad in the local paper looking to start a Machine Knitting Club Doreen turned up at that meeting and has been involved with the same Club ever since. The Club gave the ability to learn from others, swap ideas and methods, and techniques. With another knitter Doreen went to Putaruru to check out a knitting competition and ended up attending the inaugural meeting of the N.Z. Machine Knitting Society. This led to being involved with other areas, their ideas and techniques, the weekend workshops in various areas, which then led to tutoring at the local Polytechnic for over 12 years. Doreen still loves experimenting and trying new things, loves picking other people’s brains, and enjoys the whole Machine knitting craft and people and has made many great friendships over the years. Machine knitting has been a huge part of my life for the last 30 plus years. Over that time I have been a Seminar Delegate, Tutor and National Judge. Have enjoyed friendships made, competing in the competitions and learning from workshops. I have knitted for family and have sold mainly children's knitwear, toys and bags through craft shops, stalls and exhibition's. 11, 12, 13 & 14 “LET’S GIVE IT A GO” Starting with a picture from a magazine or from a style in a shop let’s see how we can make it our own by creating a stitch type and yarn use for texture, to give our own spin on the original design. Also including some useful basic tips for a good shape and finish. 15, 16, 17, & 18 “A FRESH LOOK” I hope to present a nostalgic overview of the classic technique's we have all used over the years translated into modern design ideas for contemporary children's knitwear. 19, 20, 21, & 22 Rose Fitness Rose has been hand knitting since 6 years of age, and Machine Knitting for 43 years, with her first machine being a Passap Duomatic. She enjoys sharing her knowledge and experiences with other Machine Knitters, and feels that it is a way of feeding back the information that was so kindly given to her, when she first started Knitting on a Machine. Rose is conversant with Brother Electronic Machines. Also – has only missed attending one Festival since 1982. -7- “PASSAP – KNITTING MY WAY” While this is a Passap Workshop – there are some Techniques that can be used on other brands of machines. There will be some time saving techniques demonstrated, as well as a variety of practical ideas, to get the most out of your Knitting Machine. 23, 24, 25 & 26 Dianne McEwen I have lived in Masterton, Wairarapa all my life. I started machine knitting over 45 years ago mostly knitting for my four children and their children, and some local markets. And Squares Rectangles but MOSTLY SQUARES Being invited to tutor gives me an opportunity to explore many ideas that I have been thinking My workshop includes ideas about, it also helps to expand and research these for squares in garments, rugs ideas, also to encourage me to learn new things. etc, square designs in stitch patterns, decorating squares, taking a square and making toys or novelties and other ideas. I hope you learn different things or stir up things that have been learnt in the past. Heather Smith Lynn Evans Workshop 1 (3 hours) Machine Knitting is a very creative and productive hobby that she has been enjoying for many years. Earliest memories are of watching her Mum knit a few rows at a time on a Knitmaster while raising a busy family. That interest (although the machines have changed) is still shared with her Mum as patterns, shapes and textures are explored. The Passap machine is her first love however other machines are occasionally used. Competition knitting has been a great way of challenging herself and it has been rewarding. Heather has been involved with judging, tutoring and in administration within the society. Coming up with something to tutor is not easy however the chance to inspire others interested in the craft is satisfying. My name is Lynn Evans & I have had a life-long love affair with all things woolly. In about June 2003 I was fortunate to stumble upon the art of felt making through a community education course at our local College. Once I discovered the beauty and versatility of felt my creativity has been given a free reign and I have made all manner of works from large felted coats to small needle felted objects. A little over two years ago my journey took another turn when I took over the Earth Palette Dyes agency for NZ. Already a devotee of the Earth Palette dye system, I have enjoyed exploring its uses and applications with fibre in its many different forms. I have used the dyes extensively myself many times with always interesting results if not the planned ones. -8- 27, 28, 29 & 30 “EXPLORING YOUR DOUBLE BED” Using two beds to make one fabric. In this workshop we will explore some of the many fabrics that can be created using a double bed. Understanding what the machine is doing is the first step. We will look at different knitting techniques and their uses. 31 “FELTED BROOCHES” The felted brooch course is based upon making a felt flower using silk hankies to great effect to obtain beautiful felt flowers. Kit Price $20 Lynn Evans Workshop 2 I truly believe that there is no such thing as a dyesaster - some of my favourite things have been created when processes have been challenged and taken their own route! On saying this, the simplicity and ease of use with the Earth Palette dyes make them almost fool proof, and a very practical solution for those who wish to dabble with dyeing. Courses that I teach include dying with Earth Palette, nuno felting, needle felting & felted brooches 32 & 33 DYEING WORKSHOP The dyeing course I will be using for the workshop will be techniques for painting yarn with Earth Palette dyes for knitting with a difference. Bring 2 or 3 pieces of knitting in wool, stocking stitch approx. 30x30 cm white or pale cream. Must be easily unravelled so not boucle or mohair. www.earthpalettedyes.com Kit price $35 (includes set of 6 dyes) Barbara Wills Jo Johnson I am married with a husband and two grown up sons. Around 1975, I purchased my first knitting machine - a Singer 323 Memomatic. I first learnt to machine knit by reading and using my manuals, and attending the local machine knit club, gaining practical hints and tips. I get great enjoyment knitting for family and friends. Through involvement with service groups and Scouting, knitting took a rest for a few years. Having got back into machine knitting, I now have a collection of machines - a Brother 930 (the main one I use); a Passap Duo; a Brother 891; 4 Bonds (they link together); a Singer LK140 (mid –gauge); and the original Singer 323 Memomatic. I enjoy the challenge of designing and knitting varied items. Entering competitions gives me the chance to improve the standard of my work - the thrill of receiving a place is an added bonus, with the comments made being a valuable resource. I first used a knitting machine at age 16 while working as a helper doing housework and farm work while filling in time before I was old enough to start my nursing training. The lady of the house had a Knit master machine, it was the late 1960’s and she showed me how to use it as I was trying to hand knit a jersey for myself - it grew a lot faster with a machine doing the stocking stitch. Many years later and expecting our third child my neighbour and I saw an ad in the paper for a Knit master machine so we brought it between us, but my neighbour didn’t like weeds in her garden or dust on the furniture and ironed everything, so I got to keep the machine and have knitted ever since. Nowadays I knit for family, friends and a few orders and sometimes one off designs. -9- 34, 35, 36 & 37 “BUTTON IT UP!!!” This workshop will show you how to make buttons out of polymer clay, using various items of equipment that can easily be found at little cost.
