Hi Tracy,

No, I was referring to Jessica Ays from Double the Stitches. She is the host of it.

Hi Debbie.

I got the notice about the conference through Top of The World Knits.  Is that who you’re talking about, or someone else?  I’m always interested in designers who have written instructions.

 

Good to know you enjoyed the conference last year.  It does sound interesting.

Tracy

Hi Tracy, I’m already registered for this. I did the one last year that she did. It was awesome. This should be really good again. I have purchased a bunch of her patterns off of ravelry which are  Accessible. They have both  written out end chart form. It also says it in the description that is an accessible format that will work with speech. They read very well with a screamer. Hugs and have a great day. Debbie.

One of the presentations will be about the same colorwork we did on the cowl in the knit-along, so you may know more than you think.

I have to go through the schedule and write down the ones I think will be useful to me.

Hi Tracy,

 

I registered too. I won’t be able to attend everything, and a lot of presentations will be over my head, but that sounded too interesting to pass up!

Thank you for the tip!

I just read about the Knit Happy Summit, which is a series of Zoom classes from May 14-17.  I think I’ll sign up.  It sounds interesting, and it’s free.  

I pasted the web address and a lot of the web page after my signature.

You've got the basics down. 

You can knit and purl, but somewhere between the simple projects and the beautiful ones you've been dreaming about, there's a gap.

The Knit Happy Summit: Beyond the Basics was built to close that gap.

Over four days, you'll learn from some of the most trusted teachers in the fiber world, the kind who break it all down so it finally clicks and share the

tips and tricks that genuinely transform how you approach your projects.

But it's not just about picking up new techniques.

It's about finding your people. Knitters who share your passion and understand the thrill of creating something beautiful with your own hands … and realizing

you don't have to figure any of this out alone.

GET MY FREE TICKET TO THE SUMMIT!

Get ready to fuel your creativity! 

During the Knit Happy Summit, you will ...

Turn colorwork into your superpower! 

Explore fair isle and slip stitch colorwork so you can bring color inspiration into your projects confidently.

Discover the deeper joy of knitting with intention.

Whether you're knitting a prayer shawl for a friend or donating to your community, we'll explore how knitting can connect us beyond the finished object.

Say goodbye to that lost feeling mid-project!

Learn to read your knitting and memorize stitch patterns so they feel like second nature, and every row you knit is more enjoyable.

Master next-level skills!

Discover why your test swatch is your most powerful knitting tool, learn how to adjust any pattern to any gauge, and confidently choose and substitute

yarns, including non-wool options like silk, linen & plant-based fibers.

Finally, knit garments that fit your actual body!

Discover how to spot and fix that frustrating extra fabric at the back of your sweater with a few simple measurements and smart adjustments.

Expand your knitting technique toolkit!

Ditch the cable needle, dive into double knitting, explore nupps, and finally understand how to fit a stitch pattern into a shawl shape without the math

panic.

This is your chance to finally tackle the techniques you've been dreaming about and experience the joy of learning alongside knitters who get it.

You'll walk away knowing you can actually do this.
