Comfy clothes are recommended; pajamas encouraged. Join us for the whole time or drop in when you can.
We're using Zoom, a virtual meeting program. It will allow us to talk, show our projects, and see one another (using your camera is optional. Heck, you don't even have to turn on your mic if you don't want to). There's no signup process or fee for you—just a quick registration.
When you click the link below on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you will be prompted to install Zoom if you haven't used it before. If you'd like to test this early, you can click the link at any time.

We Are Still Here: Keeping My Culture Alive Through Knit Design
|
As many of you have heard, the Navajo Nation has been hit very hard by COVID-19. Jennifer Berg and her family are doing their best to stay safe and healthy, and we're grateful she has been willing to work with us during these uncertain times. Puddletown Knitters Guild is thrilled to still be able to host Jennifer Berg, now on Friday, April 16th, and Saturday, April 17th, 2021 in Portland.
On Friday evening from 6PM - 8PM, Puddletown and Weird Sisters Yarn will co-host a meet and greet trunk show at the shop (8836 N Lombard Street, Portland OR). On Saturday from 9AM - 4PM (doors open at 8:30AM) Jennifer will present "We Are Still Here: Keeping Culture Alive Through Knit Design." Jennifer has been receiving increased national attention after being featured in Mason Dixon Knitting's March Mayhem and having one of her designs featured in the magazine Making. If you follow Ravelry's Hot Right Now or emerging designers on social media, you probably know Jennifer's work. Follow @native.knitter on Instagram to see her gorgeous work. |
Saturday, Jennifer will speak in the morning about her inspiration and design process, her favorite apps, appropriation versus appreciation, and stranded colorwork knitting tips and techniques. Throughout the afternoon participants will be able to work on a project—a cowl she designed exclusively for this event that features her own motifs and includes a space for attendees to insert a motif of their own design. There will be several expert knitters on hand for additional support.
