robyn love spoke at lionbrand yarn studio last night. i know she was feeling a little nervous since so many people RSVPed to lionbrand, (she hinted as much in a blog post), but she spoke so smoothly and eloquently . . that it was quite moving. one came away with a true sense of what her work is about, along with her influences and inspirations. and i think all participants carried a piece of her passion out the door with them. she began with a thank you to her mom (who knitted her way through robyn's childhood) and moved on to other inspirations (elaine reichek, janet morton, barb hunt; she reflects on them here), along with slides of their work and her work. i think many of us learned so much about how one can embody a thought or idea through committment, logic, talent and passion; and then finalize with an actual object that can live on in the world without the creator. and seeing how robyn's work has changed and grown was inspirational. thanks, robyn!
