Hello! I'm Julia Bryant and I first fell in love with
Tunisian Crochet in the 1980s
when I saw a pattern for an afghan in a Woman's Day magazine.
I have been designing ever since, specializing in
sweaters, jackets, vests, children's garments and wall hangings. I am
grateful to say that my work sells out at artisan shows and
word-of-mouth keeps me quite busy with new orders. All of my pieces are
handmade and each is an original.
I learned to knit at the age of
four, and after exploring many avenues, I now focus on knitting,
crochet, counted cross-stitch, tapestry weaving, and of course, Tunisian
crochet.
I am member of the following guilds:
My work has been featured in five major exhibitions in Toronto, and I often
teach and lecture to guilds across Canada. I have also taught at CGOA/KGOA
Conferences in California and Pennsylvania.
Some of my garments
were shown at the Seattle Knit and Fiber Expo in 2000. I have had a
design for a
purse published by
Annie's Attic, as well as articles and patterns in Crochet Fantasy
(Fall 2005) and A Needle Pulling Thread (Summer 2006).
I also run a Yahoo Group on Tunisian Crochet.
