Her textile art has a permanent home at the Canadian War Museum (Pom-Pom the Horse\, featured in the World War Women exhibit a few years ago)\, and her sculptural techniques have now translated into new ways to knit sock heels\, found in The Heels for Days Sock Club collection of patterns on Ravelry.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Information & Preparation\n\nPre-Class Prep: Bring a sock ready to knit the heel (or a sock equivalent\, like a short cuff) and stitch markers.\nWhat’s Included in Registration:\n\nInstruction and pattern for one of Amanda’s aknitica heels\n\n\n\nRegister Here
