HAND KNIT CLOTHING

"I find the more complicated the pattern, whether it involves a variety of lace stitches, color-work or unusual construction, the more I like it."

Dina taught herself to knit when she was 12 years old. She knits the traditional way—with two needles—but has also owned two full-sized knitting machines and an antique sock knitting machine. She prefers hand-knitting, as it is more portable more relaxing.

She always has a more simple project on the needles that is easily transported and can be worked while visiting with friends. But at home, she enjoys the challenge a more complicated pattern provides. From socks and sweaters, to tablecloths and pictures, all her free time is spent knitting, with plenty of projects lined up to last through retirement.
