Guild Meeting - December 12, 7pm, doors open at 6PM for social knitting

Lessons from a Knit Wit – Brad Clark: Author, Artist, and Professional Speaker.
In addition to showing art around Portland, Brad speaks at conferences, conventions and business meetings. Audiences leave inspired to put their best energy toward their best work… so they can live their best lives. Like a professional Organizer helps clean out your closets, Brad helps entrepreneurs and leaders de-clutter, change perspective, and find joy in their work and personal lives.
​

But… for this December Guild meeting he will share a special presentation: Lessons from a Knit Wit.
Brad and his life-long sweetheart, Cheri, owned The Naked Sheep Knit Shop for 12 years. Cheri is now a designer and instructor working at Twisted Yarn Shop. Living with a knitter for over 30 years has taught Brad a lot. He will be sharing insightful lessons, humorous stories, and tips to keep from unraveling during the holidays and all year long. He will also be selling and signing copies of his Knitting-themed Children's book, There's Only One You.

Guild Meeting - January 9th, doors open at 6PM for social knitting

​Debbie Stone will talk to us about gauge, fabric and ease.

​Having learned to knit and crochet at an early age from both of her grandmothers, fiber arts have always been an important part of Debbi's life. Her designs can be found on Ravelry at The Stitches Of My Life Designs where she goes by the name of cockeyed, for obvious reasons. She also collaborates on designs with Marcy Vandale under the label Adventure Du Jour Designs, all of which can be found on Ravelry as well. Along with designing, Debbi teaches knitting and technology classes at local yarn shops in the Portland area. She also has partnered with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee and co-hosts the 3 Strung Along knitting/spinning retreats each year held at The Resort at Port Ludlow in Port Ludlow, Washington where she teaches as well.

Guild Meeting - April 9, 7pm, doors open at 6PM for social knitting

​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.
