Machine Knitters News

Elena Berenghean is a delightful and very creative knitter who is currently living in Portugal. She has worked as a swatch designer (knitted textiles designer) for a London-based knit studio where she spent a lot of her time developing new stitch swatches for clients according to their design brief.  Check out her YouTube channel to see what she is teaching:  https://www.youtube.com/@Knitology1x1/playlists

For this seminar, she will be showing a variety of techniques.

As we are now doing in-person guild meetings at Susie’s Place (See Map), it was decided to stop our Mission Bay meetups. If you have donations, please bring them to our guild meetings.
