Saturday, January 17 • 2–4 PMEver wondered why everyone tells you to swatch, and whether you really have to? This workshop takes the mystery (and dread) out of swatching and blocking, giving you the tools to make garments that actually fit and finished projects that look their best.
Join designer and educator Elizabeth Margaret (One Wild Designs) for an interactive, conversational deep dive into the what, how, and why of swatching and blocking, for both knitters and crocheters. Elizabeth will share practical tips, real-life examples, and a brief blocking demonstration, along with the rare and magical moments when you can skip a swatch (yes, really).
This workshop is open to all levels and welcomes curious questions. No supplies are required, but you’re welcome to bring yarn and needles/hooks to swatch along, or a current project you’d like guidance on.
You’ll leave feeling confident, informed, and empowered to make better-fitting, better-looking projects without the guesswork.
