PATTERNS + WORKSHOPS ABOUT my pattern designs

I’ve been making sculptures to wear for about 30 years and now is the time to share my creations and show you, step by step, how they’re made. My knitting is based on the slow movement concept of clothing made with fine arts techniques such as painting and sculpting, with aesthetic and philosophical values about form, color and texture. The slow movement concept of clothing is an awareness of the processes and resources required to make clothing, respecting people, the environment and animals. And we can add active meditation to this magical potion.  Active meditation is the ability to remain in a meditative state while a physical action is involved.

My patterns are created in stockinette stitch, to be a simple and flowy knit and to be able to active meditate.  Your gestures are shown in your work. The patterns are created by the weight of the yarn, to be loose garments. You can use the plant based fiber suggested yarns or you can use your favorite fibers. For sizing and structure, you can go up or down needle sizes or use heavier or lighter weight fibers.

My workshops are for any knitter and spinner level. From beginners to avid addict knitters and spinners. In an active meditation way, I’ll guide you all the way and be there with you for any bumps you may find. To purchase the patterns or want some workshops, send me an email an email samo@samanthaortizstudio.com.
