Details at https://interchurch-center.org/concert-series/
This concert gives us the chance to present an exquisite collection of songs by Edvard Grieg. In Opus 26, Grieg sets to music a group of poems by John Paulsen: Et håb, Jeg reiste en deilig sommerkvaeld, Den aergjerrige, Med en primula veris, På skogstien.
Leave it to me to find a song by Grieg that mentions knitting! It’s a gorgeous set and I’ve chosen to pair it with a selection of songs from the Great American Songbook, mirroring the themes in the Grieg songs. Also, with the knitting reference, I take license to sing one of the knitting songs written for me by Stefania de Kenessey from the “Twisted Stitch” song cycle in my OperaKnit Cabaret.
You are most welcome to join us for what will be a lovely and eclectic concert.
NOTE TO KNITTERS and those who find themselves to be even the teensiest bit KNITTING-CURIOUS 😉 …. You might have noticed that the watermark image that provides a backdrop to the text in this poster is a close-up of a piece of knitting. It is an improvisational knitted lace mandala. Made up of three sections, it begins in the center with a representation of the sun and other stars, then moves outward to the sky and water of the earth, then transforms into a representation of the flowers of the earth, with the outermost part taking its inspiration from the Dwarf Trout Lily. This particular version of this magical little flower grows only on a few stream beds in Southern Minnesota. My brother, a talented and prolific painter, brought me to this special landscape. He is working on a series of paintings of this region throughout the seasons of the year. When I knitted this piece–a round-shaped imagining of the stars, the earth, and the flowers and waters thereof–I had just experienced a most wonderful concert of music performed by Mari Boine in New York. This piece is greatly influenced by that experience. If you’d like to read more about that, see my blog post from June of 2015 Improv Lace Knitting inspired of Sami song & the Minnesota dwarf trout lily
92Y SCHOOL OF THE ARTS
Knitted Lace: Organic Design within Geometric Shapes REGISTER HERE
2-day weekend workshop: Sat & Sun, Oct 19-20, 2019, 11 am – 4:30 pm
Instructor: Lisa Daehlin
Knitting in lace is an exploration of positive and negative space.
The sinewy lines created when using relatively simple knitting maneuvers (yarn-over increases paired with different types of decreases) lead the yarn (and your eye) through the landscape of a fabric composed of lines, holes, shapes, motifs — both organic and geometric. In this workshop learn how to: make these various paired increases/decreases; knit (and how to read, in words and charts) some specific stitch patterns designed to focus on the various elements of knitted lace; incorporate beads into the stitches; knit an edging and how to attach it to a non-bound-off edge; create the formulas for using this decorative (yarn-over) increase to create rectangular, circular, and triangular shapes — the building blocks of shawls, hats, pillows, purses, objects.
Prerequisite: Know how to cast-on, knit, purl, bind-off, and have some familiarity working with double-pointed needles.
