Julia Ryan Dinner With a diploma in Fashion  Management, published  patterns and the day to day management of Village  Yarns to her credit,  Julia has turned to teaching. From early high school, Village Yarns formed the background of Julia's life,  each of her yarnshop "Moms", making a contribution to her knitting style. Julia has a remarkable understanding of the knit stitch: like a shepherd,  she tracks a lost stitch through rows of lace and returns it to the fold. On a car trip, years before our yarn shop, Julia adopted a baggie of assorted  autumn coloured "orphans" from a loonie bin and knit by the light of the  glove box. Although she didn't know the names, she'd included both fairisle  and intarsia in her colourwork swatch.  When inspiration, materials, observation and time come together....anything  can happen! It is inpired learning time like this, that Julia trys to reproduce  for her new students In her quiet, patient and gentle way.  In the summer of  2000, as part of her George Brown College program, Julia completed her internship in England with Rowan.  Rowan #29 (Summer of 2001) featured Julia's  design called Puppy Luv.
