Asia is the textile artist’s dream destination because it is full of colorful and masterful inspiration every step of the way.  Our first trip to Asia was so exceptional we’ll be returning again and again.  The fiber arts of knitting and weaving are flourishing in Asia.  Join us and be inspired by creative designs, new skills and brilliant techniques.  Learn about the complexity of Japanese stitch patterns, the elegance of their designs, and the Japanese love of traditional knitting.The Japanese use a smart system for writing patterns that is both economical and efficient.  The western knitter can learn to read these patterns and have access to the exceptional wealth of Japanese knit wear designs.  Join us and learn the ins and outs of Japanese knitting techniques so you can open the doors to a whole new world of knitting ideas.
