Felicia Lo, Sweet Georgia | Fiberchats, Episode: 287
Felicia Lo is a designer and entrepreneur, born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. Driven by an insatiable desire to “make & do”, she learned to knit and sew garments at a young age and then became obsessed with dyeing, spinning, and weaving. These multiple passions in the textile arts led her to become a creative business owner and educator.
In 2004, Felicia started the "SweetGeorgia" blog (sweetgeorgiayarns.com) and then founded SweetGeorgia Yarns (shop.sweetgeorgiayarns.com), an artisan hand-dyed yarn company the following year. In 2017, she published her first book, "Dyeing to Spin & Knit". Currently, she is building the School of SweetGeorgia (schoolofsweetgeorgia.com/), a learning community focused on teaching textile arts and fibre crafts, including knitting, crochet, spinning, weaving, and dyeing. The School is an inclusive and accessible space where multicraftual makers from more than 80 countries around the world connect online and learn together.

    I love to knit and watch CZcams and today your channel popped up on my screen. So here I am binge watching while I finish knitting a sleeve. I started with the video that was the pop up which was the interview with Cecelia Campochiaro. If there is knitting divine intervention, that was it. I discovered sequence knitting last week! Now I’m watching your interview with Felicia Lo and loving the interview. I live a half hour from Ontario, Canada so of course I’m glued to this video. You ask fantastic and in depth questions to bring out the knowledge your guests have to offer. Thank you for binge worthy creative content.

    Very interesting flow through crafts depending on the season. I crocheted for so long and now that I've discovered knitting, it's difficult to put down. Next on my list is spinning as I signed up for a class during our provincial fibre festival. If I was younger, I'd probably move to a farm to raise sheep.

    • @sweetgeorgia
      @sweetgeorgia Před 9 dny

      Absolutely! I think I heard a stat that people flow from one craft to another every 3 years or so and I think it makes sense. As you grow and evolve your skills, what you can make will also evolve and change. Your handspun yarn will be able to be used in your knitting and crochet projects too... it's all connected!

    • @ElizabethKayBooth
      @ElizabethKayBooth Před 21 dnem

      We did go to sheep shearing "school" last year. We learned the basics of sheep shearing and have managed to shear sheep. The man who taught the school has done thousands of sheep all over the world and is amazing to watch. But he will tell you straight up that it is back-breaking work, and my husband and I can now attest to that! He can do a sheep in less than 5 minutes - my record time is approximately an hour. We have decided that the best money we spend all year is to hire a shearer. We have learned to get in touch with him in early spring, find out when he's in our area, and do whatever we have to do to make our schedule work with whenever he is able to come. :)
