Name
Exploring Maori Traditions Through Stranded Knitting
Teacher
Francoise Danoy
Class Description
As a Maori artist and designer, many of my patterns draw influence from traditional weaving motifs found in taaniko. It is part of my mission of using my work and art to express the stories, values, and perspectives of the culture, to enrich the knitting community with diverse experiences, to remember the past, and leave a legacy for the future.
We will learn about the different taaniko motifs, their meaning, and significance, and then cast on a simple colorwork cowl project that features once such motif.
Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, working in the round, chart reading, easy colorwork
