Daniel Yuhas
Daniel Yuhas is joining Marly on the show to talk about his new book Knitting From the Center Out
From Daniel: "I learned to knit as a college kid nearly 20 years ago, and the obsession grown in me ever since. I believe that knitting is fundamentally good for the universe – every stitch we knit is an act of creativity, and I love it when my role as a designer and teacher is to encourage that spark of creativity in my audience.
I got hooked on center-out knitting when I knit a baby blanket for my first niece – one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I was using the center-out technique to knit a toy octopus, then lace, then socks, hats and garments. Now a few years later, my first book, Knitting from the Center Out, came out in 2012 STC Craft.
I took the show on the road and started teaching in 2009, and have appeared at the Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Show, The New England Fiber Arts Retreat, the TKGA Knit & Crochet Show, and STITCHES expos, as well as numerous yarn shops and guilds."
