The conversation covers a wide range of topics including Mill Hill bead packaging, books, backs of stitching projects, satin-stitch techniques, transferring designs for embroidery, knitting, yarn from Sarah’s daughter’s sheep Cypress, quilting, needlepoint,

Mary’s shish with beads design.

Mary’s latest projects, and her ebooks. Basically, this week there’s something for everyone. We hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we did recording it.–Christine and Gary

Fiber Talk with Cate Carter-Evans

Cate Carter-Evans of Infinite Twist.

Cate Carter-Evans is an American dyer, knitter, weaver, spinner, and seamstress recently transplanted to Singapore after almost eight years in China. Cate dyes yarn and fiber, designs knitting patterns, weaves on her great-grandmother’s antique floor loom, and spins on a wheel made by her Dad. She loves gardening, canning, preserving, and fermenting, and will put kimchi on almost anything. She shares her projects on Infinite Twist’s blog.
All her activities are over-seen by two unimpressed Shanghainese street cats and a three-legged dog of unknown provenance.
