About Margaret Duncan

Margaret doesn't remember much about her first knitting experience as she was only 5 when she was first introduced to needles.  As years passed by and frustration mounted at  inconsistent and poorly fitting patterns (one size fits all), who are they trying to kid?, Margaret worked on existing patterns to adapt them to her frame.   She has a voracious appetite for knitting books and has several hundred books in her collection. 

Margaret has moved around the country with her Military husband Dave and their last posting was in Calgary where she found a wonderful knitting guild and very talented peers.  Working on her technique and skills has honed her skills immensely. She can just look at a pattern and figure out how to adapt it to up to date yarn and styles.  She loves to play with new yarn and create interesting designs. 

We are thrilled that Margaret and her family have relocated to Thunder Bay.  She teaches  weekend workshops and also teaches mid-week Beginner Knitting and Intermediate/Lace Knitting classes here in the studio.
 

About Linda Hope Ponting

I belong to a very “crafty” family.  As a result, I have been encouraged to try various creative mediums: painting, sewing, knitting, pottery, embroidery, weaving and beading.  I have learned the technical aspects of a craft through research, workshops and instructional classes; but, I was never satisfied following existing patterns.

I naturally gravitated to creating my own designs starting a home-based business in 2000 called Hope’s Designs.  As my formal education is a degree in geography and history, my designs are inspired from historical art and images and the various cultures of the world.  I adapt the traditional and integrate it into today’s needs and trends.
