making my dream maxi skirt on a vintage knitting machine ⋱⋰⋱*

It's fall (or something like a second chilly summer here in LA). A fiber artist like myself thrives this time of year because the coolest breeze reminds us that it's timeeeeee ..... sweaters, mittens, scarves and slippers to be made. But today, we are knitting a maxi skirt to stay warm.

Follow along as I knit my dram maxi skirt on my vintage Bother knitting machine. I used fine cashmere and silk yarns kiss Come back next time where we will design a fall top to match!

About Chou School of Biotextile Studies

Chou School of Biotextile Studies is my long-term project rooted in slow craft, material curiosity, and the belief that creative work can shape a more intentional life. Here, I share my research, process, and the small daily studies that guide my growth as an artist working across textiles, ceramics, and biobased materials.

Chou is about learning in a way that feels grounded. Understanding materials from their origins, respecting the labor behind them, and creating with care rather than urgency. As the school evolves, this space will serve as an open classroom, offering the tools, reflections, and techniques that have supported my own creative path.

My hope is that each video becomes a seed: something that encourages curiosity, invites slowness, and reminds us that thoughtful making is its own form of education.
