The on-going pandemic may have forced knitters to stay home, but that won’t stop us from knitting and learning more and more about our passion. Virtual Vogue Knitting Live January starts this week and I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be doing a one-hour lecture called “Secrets of the Skein” on Sunday, January 17th at 4:30 EST. We’ll talk about the factors that make yarns behave the way they do — fiber traits, how yarns are constructed, and other key characteristics to help you select the best yarn for your project.
The lovely folks at Vogue Knitting are offering a free ticket to the lecture! Leave a comment on this blog post telling me what kind of yarn you’d like to know more about by Friday, January 15 at noon and I’ll use a random number generator to select a lucky winner!
UPDATE: Congrats to Lisa, the lucky winner. I’ve sent you an email, Lisa, with more information about how to access the lecture.
