Shellie has been postponed due to the coronavirus 

Shellie Anderson: Finishing Techniques

​When Shellie was seven years old, her grandmother taught her to knit. Since that day, knitting has been a true passion for her. Over the years she would put down her knitting needles for a while, only to pick them back up again. A few years ago, Shellie picked up the needles again with the goal of becoming a knitwear designer, and for five years she was lead designer at Shibui Knits. That was an exciting challenge and now she is ready for new things and is excited to share her independent label, Shel Designs, with the knitting community.

Shellie strives to create patterns that help a knitter elevate their knitting skills, either through a new technique, construction method, or finishing method. It gives her a thrill to help knitters at every skill level achieve this. Her patterns provide all the information necessary for you to create a piece you will be proud to wear or share. She will be sharing with you some of her favorite techniques that will enhance your knitting skills.
