My standard bio is this:
My name is Síle (she-luh), and I taught myself to knit from a kit bought in a toy department when I was 12. I haven't really gone many days without knitting since! I love to knit cables and lace, and tend towards double-knitting when I want to play with color.
When not knitting, I enjoy Irish dancing; I spent quite a number of years as a performer of both solos and céilí dances before my back injury. I live on the not-so-tropical island of Newfoundland, part of Canada’s most easterly province Newfoundland & Labrador, and enjoy taking scenic walks, and visiting music venues and museums around St. John’s.
Knit Dance Repeat Designs was born out of my desire to design knitting patterns with intrinsic links to Irish dance. I often use the hashtag #knittingirishdancemashup on Instagram. I miss practices, learning new steps, pushing myself for better technique and higher jumps. I miss the stage, performing, and the audiences. I'm in physio for my injury; my hope is to get myself back to the point that I can dance again. That doesn't mean I can't pass on my knowledge and love for ID while I'm getting back there!
What can you expect from this space? Photos of in progress designs and other projects, new releases, photo tutorials of techniques I'm using in my patterns, cat photos (my roommate's pair love to "help" me), links to wherever my patterns can be found, other knitting and fiber related links, and my social media. Please note that I'm very careful about links with the on going accessibility issues with Ravelry. That's partially why I'm setting up this space: to move information from my Ravelry group to a safer, more accessible place for any knitters to see it.
So welcome to Knit Dance Repeat. Pull up a comfortable chair, grab a cuppa/glass/mug of your preferred beverage, and knit (or dance) along.
