Pattern Red Flags by Heather Storta

Ever knit from a pattern and have problems? Did you think it was you? Well, maybe it was the pattern and not you!! In this presentation, we'll talk about some things to look for that indicate a pattern might pose some problems. Some things might be obvious, but others might not. We'll also cover some things to look for in patterns to determine if something will fit how you want it to, whether it's for a sweater, other garments, or an accessory like socks and hats. Learn to be a smart pattern picker!

This virtual event will be presented by Heather Storta, who is a TKGA-certified Master Knitter, Tech Editor, and Knitting Instructor. She is the VP of Education on the board of directors of The Knitting Guild Association and the editor of TKGA’s monthly K2TOG newsletter. She designs knitwear patterns, teaches nationally and online, and tech edits for other designers and publishers.

Doors open at 6:30 PM

Meeting begins at 7:00 PM
