Stine Ladefoged is a Danish knitwear designer that was trained at DanmarksDesignskole. The garments are machine knitted with a focus on draping and experimenting with different techniques on the machine. She says on her site that she likes working with combination's of different gauges, such as fine gauge and bulky gauge to get more variation in the volume and structure of the knit. I found these very interesting but not that wearable. I'm sure the braided necklace has been done before on a smaller scale. Sometimes I wish I could work on items like this just for the fun of it but I don't imagine there are very many buyers out there for patterns like these.

I've been knitting my whole life. I don't even remember learning. I started making garments for myself in my teens and then explored sewing, tailoring and millinery. I want to teach knitters about fit and flattery and turn them into fashion stars!
On my blog you will find lots of interviews with knitting industry professionals, how to tutorials and a variety of posts about what's going on in the knitting world.
I love to come out and speak at shops and guilds. Here's what the Downtown Knit collective said after one of my talks:
“Robin Hunter’s inspiring talk, “The Barbie Factor,” left everyone in a feel-good mood at the conclusion of the May meeting. Heads were nodding in agreement all around ... as she tackled a multi-faced problem faced by many knitters—why don’t we knit for ourselves? She touched on many topics including fashion, body image, media and how it all relates back to our knitting.”
