MASON-DIXON KNITTING OUTSIDE THE LINES

Kay will be on hand to discuss Mason-Dixon Knitting Outside the Lines, which has received rave reviews and was recognized for its luscious photographs, stories, tips, rules, and hints. Kay will share the behind-the-scenes challenges of selecting the projects featured in the book and the discoveries she and co-author Ann Shayne made along the way. If you follow the Mason-Dixon Knitters blog, you know the sense of adventure and humor Kay brings to her knitting. Kay and Ann promote the "true" secret of knitting: the more you knit, the more fun it is. With clear instructions and unfailing encouragement, they explain techniques that will turn knitting into a welcome new adventure and keep more seasoned knitters on their toes.

Kay also co-authored Mason-Dixon Knitting: The Curious Knitter's Guide, a how-to-manual, and a crazy quilt of hilarious narrative, all in one. Kay and Ann chitchat their way through a series of more than thirty incredible patterns. Drawing creative inspiration from their surroundings, they present colorful blankets, sassy nightgowns, a delicate curtain, and much more to reveal that knitting can weave its way into just about every aspect of life. Kay and Ann invite you to use your creative vision to interpret each pattern and give it your own personal touch.

As many of you know, Kay and Ann have been communicating with knitters for over ten years at their masondixonknitting.com blog which has grown into a community of more than 150,000 knitters.

To us, knitting is not something off in the corner of life-it's fully a part of life, and open to all the influences-art, popular culture, sports, history-that are out there in the world. I think people respond to this broader view of what knitting is and where it fits in. - Ann and Kay
