Interweave Knits Summer 2016

www.loveheals.com I've been waiting impatiently for the release of this issue of Interweave Knits; it is my first “full” issue. I’ve been at the helm from its inception, and what a wonderful experience it has been. With a new editor come some changes, but I hope you will enjoy seeing them as much as the Knits team has enjoyed creating them. One of the biggest changes for the team has involved our photography studio, Harper Point Photography, which uprooted its business from Fort Collins, Colorado, and moved to Ventura, California.

Growing up in a small Ohio town as one of seven children, I was never without someone to play with—or to dress up! My hands were always busy making something. My mother had an amazing stash of 1970s fabrics, and now and then she would let me take a cutting. My grandmother was always crocheting, surrounded by baskets and bins filled with yarns of every color.

As my interest in handwork grew, I decided to make a career out of my passion for making clothes, earning a degree in fashion design and business at Kent State. Practically the day after graduation, my parents moved my…
