For over three hundred years, knitters from the Orenburg region of Russia have been creating Gossamer-style lace shawls and scarves from a series of basic elements & patterns handed down from generation to generation.
welcome to my journey.
Knitting and Mental Health
Knitting is meditative. It is no secret anymore that knitting is therapeutic.
“Every time I begin a new project, I recall with deep respect, the influence that the knitters of Orenburg have had on me, and I see it in my work.”
“I have invested over three decades, or half of my life, in the development and cultivation of a close cooperation with a group of extremely talented “yarn artists”. The result is an extensive collection of unique lace patterns. I feel an obligation to preserve this treasure for future generations of lace knitters.”
