Local knitwear designer and Guild member, Irina Anikeeva will give a presentation titled Knitting Traditions of Eastern Europe. Irina will give us insight into the origins of knitting in eastern European countries and the resulting influences of those cultures.

Irina moved to the US several years ago from Russia. She loves to design modern knitwear that is “practical, comfy, and feels-good.” Irina’s comprehensive background in knitting takes inspiration from nature, art, and a myriad of other things. Because of her extensive retail industry experience, she feels strongly that her knitwear designs must appeal to knitters wanting contemporary fashion.

Irina’s patterns are in demand internationally and are widely published. One January 2018 publication promotes two of her designs: Wool Elements featuring Woolfolk yarn. Her patterns for women and men’s garments have been featured in magazines such as Rib Magazine, Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting, knit.wear, Knitscene, Love of Knitting, and KnitPicks.

Irina will give two workshops on April 4. Sign up for workshops at the next Guild meeting, or send an email to Programs@SanDiegoKnitters.com.  Details about each workshop including homework and material lists are on each workshop event page. Go there by clicking on the orange text.
