WORKSHOPS
TUTOR
Tony Bennett
Workshop 1
TOPIC
I have been involved with fashion and design for
most of my working life. This has included stints
as everything from retailing right through to
buying from top end European design houses,
product promotion, fashion parades etc. etc.
Operating as a fashion consultant extended these
skills and also offered the chance to create
complete wardrobes for individuals and corporate
customers in effect creating the “total image“ for
each client.
During this exposure to top end fashion I have
always felt knit has been the country cousin in the
fashion stakes so one of my goals as a knitwear
designer is to raise awareness and bring knit to the
fore by creating designs which reflect its unique
appearance versatility and texture.
My involvement with Machine Knitting started
with the purchase of my first machine only 20
years ago [a Brother 940 with ribber] This came
with 3 free lessons and after that it was time to
explore and push some of the boundaries with this
wonderful new machine, within a year we had a
market stall and party plan business specializing in
knitted garments for the fuller figure and custom
made pieces. All the garments were designed and
made by myself the styles ranged from winter
knits through to after 5 wear and evening gowns
and everything in between.
Due to an illness we decided to close down the
business but wanted to stay within the field of knit
so we opened our specialized machine knit store
DORMANI YARNS selling machines, yarns,
books etc. However I missed the opportunity to
design so submitted a number of concepts to
Machine Knit News in the UK, these designs were
accepted and I was commissioned to write for the
magazine and I now write regularly for Machine
Knit Monthly also based in the UK.

1, 2 & 3
“PICTURE PERFECT”
This workshop draws its
inspiration from every day
images. I feel that so often in
our everyday lives we look
but we do not see!! I took
this as my starting point. My
concept is that each day in
our
travels
we
see
patterns/designs that I felt
had the potential to translate
into knit fabric. The idea is
not that we replicate these
images but that we look at
the visual and see how that
can be a trigger to develop a
knit pattern or fabric.
Sometimes the simplest of
materials
can
produce
amazing starting points –
fencing wire, a security grill
and tree bark to mention but
a few. I will take you on the
journey from the flat image
through pattern and yarn
trials and subsequently on to
the finished textile and or
garment.
Tony Bennett
Workshop 2
Anne Baxter
During this period I was also approached and
accepted an offer from CIT (Central Institute of
Technology) to lecture on machine knit in their
fashion and textile department. The 3 year degree
course is aimed at emerging talented students who
want to make fashion a career and with knit now
becoming more important in the fashion arena this
has become an important part of the course.
Costumes for stage and theatrical productions have
been an area I have really enjoyed designing for,
although the principles of knit are the same the
challenge to produce period or specific items
requires a different mindset often with lots of
research but the process is no less rewarding.
I have submitted entries in a number of
competitions and been fortunate enough to receive
over 300 awards in both fashion design as well as
wearable art sections including the inaugural
wearable art RAS award and in 2012 I was
presented with the WA Wool Designer of the year
award with one of my creations receiving wool
garment of the year award.
Knit is my passion and I will strive to lift its image
to the general public and to share my ideas and
concepts with other machine knitters.
4, 5 & 6
“DARE TO DESIGN”
The concept behind this
demo is to look at more
current styles and shapes of
knit that reflect a more up to
date fashion statement. The
combination of techniques
and shapes we will explore
present a more relaxed
silhouette suitable for all
ages. As well as shapes we
will also explore a number of
techniques and fabrics that
are ideal for such garments. I
like to think of this as a”
K.I.S.S.” challenge [keep it
simple stupid] this is my
attempt at dragging the
concept of machine knitted
garments into the current
fashion stakes. There will
always be a special place in
my heart for that beautiful
classic knit but our machines
allow us the potential to
create so much.
Anne Baxter has been involved with NZMKS for
7, 8, 9 & 10
over 30 yrs starting as a Passap demonstrator for
local Area workshops. She has been Seminar
“LINKER MYSTERIES
Delegate, Councilor and is on the National Tutor’s
REVEALED”
List. Anne has been using a Hague linker for over
25 yrs & finishes nearly all her garments using a Anne will be revealing some
linker.
of her linker tips & tricks she
has learned over the last 25
yrs using a Hague linker for
sewing up garments, even
hand knits, and finishing off
edges. There will be some
linkers available in the class
so you can take the
opportunity to have a handson experience or improve
your skills if you already use
one.

Doreen Berge
Marilyn
Clement
Doreen started knitting on a Singer machine over
40 years ago and took to it like a duck to water.
When a lady put an ad in the local paper looking to
start a Machine Knitting Club Doreen turned up at
that meeting and has been involved with the same
Club ever since.
The Club gave the ability to learn from others,
swap ideas and methods, and techniques.
With another knitter Doreen went to Putaruru to
check out a knitting competition and ended up
attending the inaugural meeting of the N.Z.
Machine Knitting Society.
This led to being involved with other areas, their
ideas and techniques, the weekend workshops in
various areas, which then led to tutoring at the
local Polytechnic for over 12 years.
Doreen still loves experimenting and trying new
things, loves picking other people’s brains, and
enjoys the whole Machine knitting craft and
people and has made many great friendships over
the years.
Machine knitting has been a huge part of my life
for the last 30 plus years. Over that time I have
been a Seminar Delegate, Tutor and National
Judge. Have enjoyed friendships made, competing
in the competitions and learning from workshops.
I have knitted for family and have sold mainly
children's knitwear, toys and bags through craft
shops, stalls and exhibition's.
11, 12, 13 & 14
“LET’S GIVE IT A GO”
Starting with a picture from a
magazine or from a style in a
shop let’s see how we can
make it our own by creating
a stitch type and yarn use for
texture, to give our own spin
on the original design.
Also including some useful
basic tips for a good shape
and finish.
15, 16, 17, & 18
“A FRESH LOOK”
I hope to present a nostalgic
overview of the classic
technique's we have all used
over the years translated into
modern design ideas for
contemporary children's
knitwear.
19, 20, 21, & 22
Rose Fitness
Rose has been hand knitting since 6 years of age,
and Machine Knitting for 43 years, with her first
machine being a Passap Duomatic.
She enjoys sharing her knowledge and experiences
with other Machine Knitters, and feels that it is a
way of feeding back the information that was so
kindly given to her, when she first started Knitting
on a Machine.
Rose is conversant with Brother Electronic
Machines.
Also – has only missed attending one Festival
since 1982.

“PASSAP – KNITTING
MY WAY”
While this is a Passap
Workshop – there are some
Techniques that can be used
on other brands of machines.
There will be some time
saving
techniques
demonstrated, as well as a
variety of practical ideas, to
get the most out of your
Knitting Machine.
23, 24, 25 & 26
Dianne
McEwen
I have lived in Masterton, Wairarapa all my life.
I started machine knitting over 45 years ago
mostly knitting for my four children and their
children, and some local markets.
And
Squares
Rectangles
but
MOSTLY SQUARES
Being invited to tutor gives me an opportunity to
explore many ideas that I have been thinking My workshop includes ideas
about, it also helps to expand and research these for squares in garments, rugs
ideas, also to encourage me to learn new things.
etc, square designs in stitch
patterns, decorating squares,
taking a square and making
toys or novelties and other
ideas.
I hope you learn different
things or stir up things that
have been learnt in the past.
Heather
Smith
Lynn Evans
Workshop 1
(3 hours)
Machine Knitting is a very creative and productive
hobby that she has been enjoying for many years.
Earliest memories are of watching her Mum knit a
few rows at a time on a Knitmaster while raising a
busy family. That interest (although the machines
have changed) is still shared with her Mum as
patterns, shapes and textures are explored.
The Passap machine is her first love however other
machines are occasionally used. Competition
knitting has been a great way of challenging
herself and it has been rewarding.
Heather has been involved with judging, tutoring
and in administration within the society. Coming
up with something to tutor is not easy however the
chance to inspire others interested in the craft is
satisfying.
My name is Lynn Evans & I have had a life-long
love affair with all things woolly. In about June
2003 I was fortunate to stumble upon the art of felt
making through a community education course at
our local College. Once I discovered the beauty
and versatility of felt my creativity has been given
a free reign and I have made all manner of works
from large felted coats to small needle felted
objects.
A little over two years ago my journey took
another turn when I took over the Earth Palette
Dyes agency for NZ. Already a devotee of the
Earth Palette dye system, I have enjoyed exploring
its uses and applications with fibre in its many
different forms. I have used the dyes extensively
myself many times with always interesting results
if not the planned ones.

27, 28, 29 & 30
“EXPLORING YOUR
DOUBLE BED”
Using two beds to make one
fabric.
In this workshop we will
explore some of the many
fabrics that can be created
using
a
double
bed.
Understanding what the
machine is doing is the first
step.
We will look at
different knitting techniques
and their uses.

“FELTED BROOCHES”
The felted brooch course is
based upon making a felt
flower using silk hankies to
great effect to obtain
beautiful felt flowers.
Kit Price $20
Lynn Evans
Workshop 2
I truly believe that there is no such thing as a dyesaster - some of my favourite things have been
created when processes have been challenged and
taken their own route! On saying this, the
simplicity and ease of use with the Earth Palette
dyes make them almost fool proof, and a very
practical solution for those who wish to dabble
with dyeing.
Courses that I teach include dying with Earth
Palette, nuno felting, needle felting & felted
brooches
32 & 33
DYEING WORKSHOP
The dyeing course I will be
using for the workshop will
be techniques for painting
yarn with Earth Palette dyes
for knitting with a difference.
Bring 2 or 3 pieces of
knitting in wool, stocking
stitch approx. 30x30 cm
white or pale cream. Must
be easily unravelled so not
boucle or mohair.

Kit price $35 (includes set
of 6 dyes)
Barbara
Wills
Jo Johnson
I am married with a husband and two grown up
sons.
Around 1975, I purchased my first knitting
machine - a Singer 323 Memomatic. I first learnt
to machine knit by reading and using my manuals,
and attending the local machine knit club, gaining
practical hints and tips. I get great enjoyment
knitting for family and friends.
Through involvement with service groups and
Scouting, knitting took a rest for a few years.
Having got back into machine knitting, I now have
a collection of machines - a Brother 930 (the main
one I use); a Passap Duo; a Brother 891; 4 Bonds
(they link together); a Singer LK140 (mid –gauge);
and the original Singer 323 Memomatic.
I enjoy the challenge of designing and knitting
varied items. Entering competitions gives me the
chance to improve the standard of my work - the
thrill of receiving a place is an added bonus, with
the comments made being a valuable resource.
I first used a knitting machine at age 16 while
working as a helper doing housework and farm
work while filling in time before I was old enough
to start my nursing training. The lady of the house
had a Knit master machine, it was the late 1960’s
and she showed me how to use it as I was trying to
hand knit a jersey for myself - it grew a lot faster
with a machine doing the stocking stitch.
Many years later and expecting our third child my
neighbour and I saw an ad in the paper for a Knit
master machine so we brought it between us, but
my neighbour didn’t like weeds in her garden or
dust on the furniture and ironed everything, so I
got to keep the machine and have knitted ever
since.
Nowadays I knit for family, friends and a few
orders and sometimes one off designs.
