Conference Classes

Week 9 = Knitting Classes
Day 3 = February 28, 2014


L-R: Lily Chin, Alasdair Post-Quinn
and Nancy Shroyer

     Conferences and fairs are a great place to take knitting classes. They can offer access to knitting professionals, specialized classes and international techniques. For example Interweave Knitting Lab has: 
  • Professionals
    • Lily Chin, who is the epitome of the everywhere designer... she has worked with Vera Wang, Isaac Mizrahi, been cited in media on NBC, CNN, HGTV and more, she is teaching 4 classes
    • Alasdair Post-Quinn, whom I consider a leader in his field of double-knitting, he is teaching 6 classes
    • Nancy Shroyer... THE NANCY of Nancy's Knit Knacks, she is teaching 4 classes
  • Specialized Classes
    • Successful Knitting With Handpainted Yarn
    • Custom Knit Socks
    • Mobius Manipulated
    • Knitted Jewelry
    • Love Your Lace
  • International Techniques
    • Swedish Twined Textured Fingerless Mittens
    • The Norwegian Purl
    • Estonian Cast Ons
    • Nordic Color
    • Lithuanian Beaded Wristwarmers
    • Stitch Library: Portuguese Style
     These are just three examples of the vast benefits of knitting conferences. There are many more benefits that you will just have to learn about yourself by going to a knitting conference. I will also be filling you in on the other benefits of Interweave Knitting Lab in May when I attend the conference.
