Next Meeting: October 4, 2017, 7:00 pm 
Andrée Beddoe

​Andrée Beddoe, local knitwear designer will join us on October 4 to talk about knitted embroidery. Not what you think. Keep reading. Check out her design after you finish reading, Dianthus is definitely going on Susan's queue first, but will be followed by others.

Andrée Beddoe learned to knit when she was 6 years old from a close family friend. In her early twenties she taught herself to crochet because she loved making doilies. After graduating from the University of Washington with an electrical engineering degree, Andrée worked in the corporate world for 20 years. She left Microsoft in June of 2011 and started knitting again to stay productive while looking for another job, but enjoyed knitting and learning new things so much that she couldn’t stop!  Andrée is a true knitting pioneer who enjoys developing new techniques as a way to improve a design. Her goal is that each pattern should teach the knitter something new, making every pattern a fun learning opportunity for knitters of all levels.  Andrée has since become a prolific designer and teacher.  Her projects and designs can be found on Ravelry under “Andrée Beddoe Designs”, http://www.ravelry.com/designers/andree-beddoe.  You can also find Andrée on YouTube on her KnitAndLive channel, https://www.youtube.com/knitandlive. 

She will be speaking about her technique of creating knit wear that looks embroidered, but which is actually done by knitting. Her patterns are really beautiful, it’s another great way to add some beautiful color accents to your knitting.

​Another reason to enjoy the fall!
