Karin has done extensive research into this technique, has collected original garments and also reproduces historical garments to help preserve the tradition. Karin shows us some of her collection, demonstrates the technique and also tells us some fascinating stories in this fascinating interview. We stay in Sweden for New Releases, where the lovely Pia Kammeborn introduces us to Roses are Red, her latest mitten design. From Sweden we go to the UK to meet Alison O'Neill, a traditional hill farm Shepherdess, who creates beautiful tweed from the fleece of her own flock of sheep. You'll get an update on our own projects - finished and in progress, and there's news on KALs finishing and KALs beginning. Enjoy!
