Among them, my great grandmother, my grandmother, my mother, and a wonderful woman who was a friend of my mom&#8217;s who taught me to knit when I was eight.<\/p>\n<p>As the spark of creating grew, I explored classes, read books, and tried various techniques with yarn and needles. In spite of this dabbling across the knitting spectrum, I always seem to come back to Fair Isle and Aran designs.\u00a0 A fascination due in part to my first trip to Shetland and the Outer Hebrides where I took classes with both Alice Starmore and Kaffe Fassett. So you can see where my love of color comes from!<\/p>\n<p>After an undergraduate degree in architecture, a graduate degree in communication, and several years working in those two disciplines, I am now able to put yarn, color, and design together full time. My world is filled with colorful yarn, needles, and charting software.\u00a0 In addition to working on my own designs, \u00a0a happy part of my year is the Kanuga Knitting and Quilting retreat which I coordinate and provide some of the instruction every January. Think big fireplaces, creative people, and lots of fun!<\/p>\n<p>Yarn, color, design&#8230;.who could ask for more!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/3ee2e8_f738207a73ba46dba929d04b1c4c6277~mv2.jpg\/v1\/fill\/w_223,h_62,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto\/3ee2e8_f738207a73ba46dba929d04b1c4c6277~mv2.jpg\" width=\"223\" height=\"62\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visit Varian&#8217;s website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandonknittingdesigns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brandonknittingdesigns.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scknittingguild.com\/index.php\/calendar-of-events\/\">CALENDAR OF EVENTS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Email <a href=\"mailto:knitinn@scknittingguild.com\">knitinn@scknittingguild.com<\/a> if you have questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/scknittingguild.com\/index.php\/kivendors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out our Vendor Marketplace<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local Restaurants:<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Our Favorites<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kitchen Sync (local, Southern), 1609 Laurens Road\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/kitchensyncgreenville.com\/\">https:\/\/kitchensyncgreenville.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Midtown Deli (soups, sandwiches, salads) 1022 B Woodruff Road <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midtowndeli.biz\/menu\">https:\/\/www.midtowndeli.biz\/menu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cheesecake Factory in Haywood Mall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecheesecakefactory.com\/menu\">https:\/\/www.thecheesecakefactory.com\/menu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Southern Fried Green Tomatoes (local, Southern, meat and three, excellent food) 1175 Woods Crossing Road #8 <a href=\"https:\/\/order.toasttab.com\/online\/southern-fried-green-tomatoes\">https:\/\/order.toasttab.com\/online\/southern-fried-green-tomatoes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Close By<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stella\u2019s (small, chic, upscale, local Southern bistro) 340 Rocky Slope Road- it\u2019s also the closest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellasbrasserie.com\/\">https:\/\/www.stellasbrasserie.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chestnut Coffee House 325 Rocky Slope Road <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chestnutcoffeehouse.com\/\">https:\/\/www.chestnutcoffeehouse.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Strossners 21 Roper Mountain Road <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0123\/6854\/3834\/files\/Cafe-Menu-2023.pdf?v=1677049426\">https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0123\/6854\/3834\/files\/Cafe-Menu-2023.pdf?v=1677049426<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tropical Grille, 1037 Verdae Blvd <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eattg.com\/tropicalmenu\">https:\/\/www.eattg.com\/tropicalmenu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Pleasantburg Drive<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Frodos Pizza 511 S.
