GUILD MEETING
December 14, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Xandy Peters Unexpected Knitting A half hour talk about how an open mind and willingness to make mistakes has led to interesting swatches and eventually collections of new designs in my own work.Slides showing notebook pages, inspiration images and design process demonstrate how a small idea can grow with experimentation and sometimes even mistakes become favorite new stitches. Xandy Peters is best-known as the innovator of the stacked-stitch technique, especially the Fox Paws pattern. Xandy has been published in many magazines including Vogue Knitting, Twist Collective, Knitscene, Knitty, and Pom Pom Quarterly. Xandy’s patterns can be found on Ravelry or at xandypeters.com |

GUILD MEETING
February 8, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Sivia Harding Roosimine and Vikkel, a Perfect Pair Roosimine is an Estonian inlay colorwork technique that is as easy as pie - you simply lay in the contrast color in as you go - it’s not even knitted! It produces a delightfully embossed texture that is unlike anything else. Vikkel braids, which look like a horizontal line of knitting, are incredibly complementary to Roosimine, and the two techniques are often found together, a perfect pair! Sivia Harding has worked with fiber and art since she can remember. She is known for exceptional designs including lace, garments, accessories, and imaginative Moebius creations. She has been widely published and on Ravelry as Sivia Harding Knit Design. |

GUILD MEETING
March 14, 7 p.m. (hybrid meeting) Zeb Walter Disco Fibers - Making De-Stashing Easy Come and learn how this crazy idea of secondhand yarn all got started, you might even find out exactly what is “secondhand yarn.” Zeb Walter started Disco Fibers in April of 2023 to fill a need within the fiber arts community. Many secondhand stores fill Portlander life from clothing to furniture, to every outdoor activity that there is, but for the dedicated fiber artist, the choices are not as abundant. Disco Fibers acts not only as a de-stash service to individuals and companies, but also as a retail conduit to make fiber arts more affordable to the everyone. |
