Next meeting: February 11th, 7:00 PM Pacific (Hybrid):
Kate Larson: Color Stranded Knitting For our February general meeting, Kate Larson (who is in town to teach at Red Alder Fiber Arts Retreat) will be joining us to discuss color stranded knitting. The color stranding knitting method is constantly reinterpreted by knitters around the world, from chic Bohus cardies to sturdy Norwegian pullovers, from classic Fair Isle jumpers to intricate stockings from Estonia. Learn about these surprisingly different knitting traditions that provide us with many different techniques, construction methods, and fabrics. Kate Larson loves using fiber arts as a bridge between her passions for art and agriculture. Her fiber journey has led to a degree in soil chemistry, travels through northern Europe, handspinning workshops across the United States, and the editor’s seat at Spin Off Magazine. She keeps a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her Indiana farm. Kate is the author of The Practical Spinner’s Guide: Wool (Interweave, 2015) and several videos, including How to Spin Yarn to Knit (Interweave, 2016) and How to Spin on a Charkha (Long Thread Media, 2022). Her articles and designs have appeared in Spin-Off, Jane Austen Knits, Enchanted Knits, Knitting Sweaters from Around the World, and more. 
NOTE: While our February meeting always shifts to the Wednesday before Red Alder so we’re able to have one of the teachers present in person, in the event that our Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl on Sunday, and the championship parade is on Wednesday, Kate will most likely be joining via Zoom from Tacoma, where Red Alder is held, in order to not be stuck in Seahawks/construction/rush hour traffic for hours.
