Weekend Quick Knits by JO NATHAN
Since learning to knit as a child, designer Jo Nathan has been unable to put
down her knitting needles.
She has spent over 15 years working in the fashion and textile industry as a
knitwear designer for Cleckheaton and Patons hand knitting yarns and as a
lecturer in the fashion department at The Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology, before establishing her own knitwear label "woolliwoolli".
Jo is a passionate advocate for all things hand made and hopes to encourage
and inspire crafty types to take up the skill of hand knitting.
" The rhythm of yarn and needles working together, creating loops that form
fabrics, has always fascinated me. Knitting is a beautiful craft that gives
endlessly, it both relaxes and stimulates, it is a form of creative
expression, a way of making beautiful things that will nourish its wearer"
Jo is also committed to using natural and "noble fibres" and is thrilled to
be working with "The House of Alpaca" designing capsule collections of
beginner knits in beautiful Alpaca yarn.
