Machine vs Handmade
Knitting textile machines have been around since 1589 for sock making; however, there has yet to be a machine invented that can create a varied crochet patterns. There is currently a machine in development that will be able to make a fabric that is sewn on one side only and will not create the depth of stitches created by a handmade item. My design influences have been knitting, crochet, counted cross stitch, needlepoint, crewel, hardanger, embroidery and weaving. I hope you see a little of those in every design.
