| Instructor Bio: | Mary Martin is a knitwear designer based in Toronto, Canada, focusing on reversible fabrics. She has developed two reversible techniques: Fission Knitting and Fusion Knitting. She draws on her engineering background as she ?builds? her fabric. Her computer experience was applied to creating reversible knitting notation. When Mary designs it feels surprisingly like her work building financial structures on Wall Street. Mary started designing when she was knitting chemo caps for a friend with breast cancer. She wanted to make a reversible hat for her friend but was unable to. This sparked her curiosity about whether it was possible to place cabled motifs on both sides of the fabric. Her designs reflect what she has learned about creating reversible fabrics. |
