Open Workstation: Knit Machines!

On Wednesday, March 25, we invite knitters and everyone curious to our open workstation from 15-19 at Kvennaskolinn. We have our March "Knitting Repair Team", Andy and Madison, with us to assess your own knitting machine and/or show you briefly how to use our sock machine and one of our double bed freshly cleaned and repaired knitting machines. 

 

Andy Valentine comes from Walla Walla, WA and has been a machine knitter since 2013.  Her first machine, an antique circular sock machine, sparked a passion that has led her to continue to collect more than 20 antique and vintage knitting machines - most of which she has restored to full working order.  Andy is particularly experienced restoring Brother and Silver Reed flatbed knitting machines, Passap v-bed machines and various circular sock machines.

 

Madison Berg is a self taught multidisciplinary textile artist focusing on machine and hand knitting, sewing and embroidery.  She lives in New York City, teaches machine knitting,  repairs, restores and sells domestic knitting machines. 

 

Please tell us if you come in advance by Monday, March 23. via the email textillab@textilmidstod.is!
