Still Reeling

And who wouldn't be from all the traveling over these past months....

Recently back from 2 weeks away, the first 9 days in Turkey where I joined a select group for the 1st International Istanbul Textile Art-Design Symposium sponsored by Marmara University held in the old city section of Sultanahmet and with Jack Lenor Larsen as the keynote.

What a wonderful chance it was to meet Turkish and other international fiber colleagues, participate in the 

Marmara University workshop

Symposium
exhibit,  

teach a workshop (with translation)

   

and just enjoy a bit of exotica.  

The Grand Bazaar

Oh, and did I mention also being able to exhibit work at the Nakkas Gallery which was in a 6th century cistern!!??...

(now how cool is that?) 

 
 
Spanning some centuries, I then flew directly to Chicago to teach for Vogue Knitting Live!, a wonderful experience in its own right before finally making it back barely in advance of Hurricane Sandy.
