Sydney Crabaugh
Knitwear Becomes Fashion: Twentieth Century Knitting History

Join Sydney Crabaugh as she brings you from 1920s through 1950s when knitted items turned into fashion staples. This presentation will touch upon key moments in early 20th century knitting history that affected the surge of fashionable knitwear and knitting trends in the 1930s. We'll look at how knitting shifted during World War II, as well as postwar and 1950s knitting. Come learn about how knitting from the past helped shape the knitting world we all know and love today. Sydney has been working in the yarn world for more than ten years and is the Headmistress of the online Squid’s School of Vintage Knitting.

Anne Berk
Annetarsia Knits

Anne Berk, the author of Annetarsia Knits, will introduce new methods for knitting intarsia patterns, including techniques for knitting flat and in the round for both stockinette and garter stitch projects. Intarsia offers opportunities for using color to create beautiful “painted” designs in knitting, which result in lightweight fabrics that are ideal for garments. Anne’s techniques help knitters get around some of the disadvantages of intarsia, such as the awkwardness of managing yarn and dealing with all of the ends. Anne is a nationally
known knitting designer, teacher, and author.
