REBECCA YAKER BIRD
Rebecca is a maker. She specializes in quality, handmade, one-of-a-kind, fun women’s clothing and accessories such as shoes, scarves, and totes; skirts, sweaters, and tops. Her website is a great place to buy handmade gifts online.
Sewing since the tender age of five, Rebecca operates out of her Minneapolis based design studio. In 2005, Rebecca launched Hazel and Melvin’s Room, and for 5 years she created one-of-a-kind baby bedding and apparel for clients worldwide. In addition to her sewing skills, Rebecca is an accomplished hand- and machine-knitter. Some of you may know her from her large-scale sock monkey pieces, such as the sock monkey prom dress. Prior to delving into her love of all things fiber, Rebecca graduated from the University of Michigan and Moscow State Linguistics University, with a concentration in Russian Languages and Literature. More than anything, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her husband and their cute-as-a-barrel-full-of-kittens sons.
TOPICS SHE WILL BE TEACHING:
She will be teaching us how to knit plaid on a single-bed knitting machine using intarsia and slipstitch and will have some patterns included so that we can make something wearable with this technique during the 2 days.
Any knitting machine that can knit intarsia and slipstitch can be used and the pattern for the slipstitch can be easily hand- manipulated if you are using a non-patterning machine such as an LK150 or KH230. Any standard, mid-gauge or bulky machine with intarsia and slipstitch capability will work.
