Saturday, October 12
3:30pm - 5:30pm
Led by Julie Kroyer of Fiberspectives

Gain confidence in your knitting practice by learning to recognize and rectify common mistakes, as well as how to prevent them in the first place!

In this workshop Julie will show you how to fix dropped stitches in both stockinette and garter stitch, twisted stitches, unintentional yarn-overs and more. Julie’s tips and tricks for understanding how to “read” your knitting will empower you to tackle more challenging projects knowing that when – not if – mistakes happen, they will be no match for you!

Pre-requisites
Advanced Beginner (Knit, Purl, Cast-on, Bind-off)

Students should come with two swatches (on needles) in worsted weight yarn. One swatch should be at least 15 rows of garter stitch and one should be at least 15 rows of stockinette. Lighter color yarn preferred. Please bring a 3-4mm crochet hook if you have one.

Meet Your Facilitator
Julie is a former high school English teacher with degrees from Michigan State and DePaul Universities. Although she left the secondary classroom after her oldest child was born, she has been working in education in various forms throughout the past 20 years. Her knitting journey began with the desire to gift a handmade blanket 19 years ago and she’s never looked back. In 2017 a friend asked her to come onboard as an advanced knitting technique teacher at the local yarn shop and since then she’s taught all levels of knitting and some basic crochet as well as workshops on color blending, fiber characteristics and so much more.
