I admire Stephen West very much. Every time I see his works, I cannot help thinking that he is an engineer of yarn. His design reminds me of an architecture which has a beauty and a function. He has a lot of shawl patterns and they look very beautiful and Kakko-i-i (=Japanese word, and it means 'cool'). I like all kinds of cool stuffs. When something is created, it always starts from an imagination. He is the person who can visualize his imagination with yarn. I want to try doing the same thing, but on my finished work, it is hard to see my first imagination. I mean, sometimes, the work is far from it! How can he make such a wonderful art work?! I really wish that I had at least 1 of 10,000 of his talent. To get to know his work better, it may be a good idea to try his pattern first. Well, I am not yet experienced knitter. So I need to pick one that looks simple to me. (I wonder if there is such thing for me....) Wish me luck!
