Have you ever wanted to hand knit your own one-of-a-kind clothes that stand the test of time? Now you can learn how with the expertise of visual artist, artisan, and cofounder of Appsolescencia Lorena Madrazo. Tapestry takes center stage in her textile work, whether that's in clothing or decorative pieces inspired by conscious principles for a sustainable future.
In this course, Lorena teaches you two weaving techniques, one using a frame and the other knitting with different stitches (knit stitch, purl knit stitch, and rice stitch) with two circular needles. Combine both techniques to create an original scarf that is full of texture.

PlusMe encantó la variedad de puntos y conocer dos técnicas y su mutua aplicación. Me habría gustado ver ejemplos físicos de las ideas como la bolsa y el chal por ejemplo, y haber visto algunos "tips" como el cómo poder hacer la unión del grupo de mechones que se tenían listos para poner al final de la bufanda y que ella ya tenía listos unidos y divididos en un hilo y los iba tomando cortando de la cuerda; así como el tema del planchado de la prenda. Súper poder acelerar la velocidad.
