Get Ready to Conquer Your Knit-Math Fears!

We are beyond excited to welcome the legendary writer, tech editor, teacher, and designer KATE ATHERLEY for a game-changing workshop:

Math for Knitters: Solving the Knitters’ Number Puzzles
Ever look at a pattern and feel like you need an advanced degree in algebra just to finish a sleeve? You’re not alone! Join us in person to watch at the shop or virtually via Zoom to unlock all the secrets behind those tricky numbers.
What You’ll Master:

• How Math Fits Into Pattern Reading: Turn counting and tracking into second nature so you can knit with complete control!
• Deciphering Pattern Jargon: Easily decode head-scratchers like “Decrease every 8 rows 10 times” and “Increase 12 sts evenly across the row.”
• Yarn Math Magic: Learn to calculate yardage in leftover partial skeins and make sure you always buy enough yarn for your dream projects.
• Demystifying Gauge: Discover what gauge really means, how to measure it accurately, and what to do when you just can’t match it.

The Details

• Skill Level: Confident Beginners and Beyond (Suitable for knitters comfortable with the basic mechanics who are starting to work from patterns).
• When: Wednesday, September 23rd; 6:30-8:30 pm EDT
• Length: 2–3 Hours
