~ Modern Day Artists ~


...who is this sweet girl you may ask?
Well, she is the daughter of  a talented fiber artist...
-guess who?



Lucy
A very accomplished knitter.
Many times have I drooled over her beautiful work.

 beautiful.


She made this "Brainium hat" with
yarn from Magnolia Handspun



Linda resides in England

but also a spinner.
She knit this beautiful scarf

truly one of a kind.




She designs wearable art.

This is the "Montana Bomber hat"
made by Sarah.

....I guess these were the skeins that started the whole thought of starting Magnolia Handspun.



...but this is not Sarah?
You're right, this is one of her best friends Astrid with her little boy.



Even little Ava is having fun with the hat.

 Shibori, beading, thread painting, knitting, and inspiring videos.


This lovelie is Meagan.
She knit the Aspen Ice Cowl
featured a while back
with "Citrus"


She knits all kinds of beautiful and creative woolens for herself and her daughters.
You can find her work and inspiring blog HERE



We all share a common thread.
C.r.e.a.t.i.v.i.t.y.
using the same yarn
yet interpreting it all differently

We are all women living miles apart
using a skill that was created hundreds of years ago


Creating
is not just a necessity any longer.
A need, maybe..
we do know it's rewarding and beautiful.
and a connection to the past that lives on today.

    Beautiful! I just received my first two skeins (http://jlhern.blogspot.com/) and I'm intimidated! Thank you for this post, it's great to see how others have knit it up to showcase how vivid and diverse your yarn is.
