Ok, Karen Allen is completely amazing. It's all stunning. And way too spendy for me....

Spendy is right! But her designs are exquisite; especially those tie-dyed looks!! The story in "More" magazine mentioned her learning to use a special knitting machine, but it didn't mention what kind. Sounds like it's a Japanese design, and it almost looks like a type of weaving that's taught in Worcester, at Saori , a shop owned by a Japanese textile artist. Some homeschool friends of mine know her, and their kids took a weaving class at her shop. I have a friend who knits on a machine, and every year, she used to donate a couple of kids sweaters for us to raffle at our Holly Fair.

I was going to check out Karen's website last night, but started watching the last half of "The Andromeda Strain". It was pretty good, but it was like Star Trek IV, in that the danger was from the future, and it involved a plot twist that environmentalists would love.
