Knitquest @ Twisted
Come with me and we’ll take a small glimpse at the design joy of Sam Roshak along the wonderful goodness that is Twisted.
Hmmm… Sam: “What do you think Shannon? Good?” Shannon: “ Oh yeah! Great even.”
Snacks are ready too! And Alex and Vivian are ready to serve with their usual jovial knit goodness.
And then of course the knits, the stars of the show.
I’ve known and worked with Sam for awhile now and it was really wonderful to sit back and listen to her talk about her designs. What inspires her, how she works, the pattern writing and making, photography of knits. All of it. It’s always inspiring to hear what inspires other knit wise.
Practically speaking it’s really helpful to put your hands on the designs themselves.
I think a great time was had by all.
I know I did. What’s really not to love? Everyone is there because of their passion.
If I had 10 more minutes I would give you links to all of these. I’m a little afraid of my accountant so I really have to scoot. Go here and you’ll find them and more.

Thanks for the pictures!! I was so sad to miss this trunk show. But I must admit that I got a sneak preview of some of the goodies the day before in Albany. It was a literal trunk show at the back of Sam’s van!! How lucky am I?!?
Congrats again to Sam!! The show looked great!
Sam designs beautiful things!
It was nice to meet you…
The designs look great!
Where do I get that t-shirt that is on the manaquin, the black one with the green ball of yarn. I looked on the twisted website but couldn’t find it. Thanks.
I’m in search of the pattern for the sweater that was in the trunk_show_3.jpg. It was difficult to see all the details because a shawl was draped over top of it. It looked like it had a really interesting border at the bottom and, I’m not sure, but the sleeves may have been in the same pattern. I seem to be collecting sweater patterns lately(for fall knitting) and I want to knit them all in Luscious Single Silk. Be still my heart!
Hey there, Kate – here’s a link to the shop page with the Babydoll T’s: http://shop.twistedpdx.com/index.php?product=SwagBDTee. And, Hazel, that sweater (Sisyphus: http://www.knitquest.com/knit_quest/2010/07/sisyphus.html) is in test-knitting and tech-editing right now, but will probably be out in a month or so. Sam made the original in WooBu, which is pretty much the perfect sweater yarn, although I agree that LSS is amazing!
Wow! I’m feeling pretty special right now.
Thanks so very much Tina for coming and for all your support. Shannon you are an awesome host and an even better friend. I had the best time ever and came home inspired and invigorated.
I am one lucky lady!
So glad for you Sam! And I agree with Shannon that your designs are great.
So much fun!! So proud of you Sam…your designs are fantastic!! And Tina, you know your gorgeous yarns are part the inspiration too!! Perfect pairing!
I think you all (Sam and Tina and Shannon), are pretty wonderful. Looks like an awesome time thanks for sharing via the magic of your cameras.
Oh dear, I do seem to be having a good time with that scarf, don’t I?
Great show, Sam, congrats! You’ve put the fire in my belly to obtain some golden Camelspin
Oh dear, I meant to post that on Sam’s blog, I’ve got them both open. Hahaha.
