stephen west at hill country weavers

On Sunday, September 30th, Hill Country Weavers hosted a lovely trunk show and slideshow with the talented Stephen West! His patterns took off on Ravelry after publishing the Boneyard Shawl, and he established himself as a knitwear designer with the immensely popular Clockwork shawl. He now has three pattern collections, a variety of collaborations, and lots of great new stuff in the works!

I managed to snap some pictures of his samples (and ours!) and talk while at the shop today:

Stephen seemed to enjoy Austin and the shop! Here's hoping he comes back again and has more time to enjoy Austin.
