Thursday evening & all day Sunday
Double sided kitting is your new best friend! No more messy floats for you, you are WAY too good
for those. Double knitting lets you have your beautiful color work on both sides of your knitted
fabric and is incredibly easy. If you can knit and purl, you can master double-sided knitting!
Please bring two sharply contrasting colors of the same weight yarn and a pair of straight or
circular needles in the size recommended for your yarn. All intermediate-advanced beginners are
welcome.

STITCHES United is a
We are crafters. We knit, crochet, weave,
quilt, sew. We may also felt, spin, dye, stencil or paint on fabric,
embroider, needlepoint, bead, even tat. Our tools and methods
vary. But whether we wind yarn around a crochet hook or a
knitting needle, throw a shuttle across a warp, or run a needle
and thread through cloth — our stitches build fabric.
STITCHES United is about textiles-in-the-making.
Many of us are multi-crafters: we might be experts in one and
beginners in others. Whatever our choices, we collect inspiration.
We feed our passions and fuel our explorations with piles of
fabric; skeins of yarn; spools of thread; drawers of buttons,
baubles, and beads — not to mention tools and books galore.
At STITCHES United, you’ll find classes led by experts in their
fields, a market that excites your senses, and, most importantly,
a gathering for kindred hearts and hands.
It all comes together

In Knit My Skirt, Candace Eisner Strick
makes a strong pro-skirt statement.
Yes, you can wear a knit skirt.
See the skirts:
Long and graceful,
short and sassy — a complete
wardrobe of skirts.
They are comfortable and flattering.
No, knit skirts do not reveal every
curve — unless you want them to!
Yes, it’s easy to make a wellfitting skirt — using one key
measurement.
Be sure to check
out Candace’s skirt
waist options.
No, skirts do not take forever — actually, less time than a sweater.
No sleeves means less yarn to buy,
fewer stitches, little shaping.
25+ patterns grouped
by direction of knitting — top down,
bottom up,
or side to side.
