Thursday, April 13th, 2023 Hybrid Program starts at 7 p.m.
With the perspective of an engineer and a garment designer, Amanda Lane has unlocked the secret to reclaiming yarn from thrift shop garments. Amanda will talk about how to reclaim yarn from thrifted sweaters, including how to over-dye the yarn. She is obsessed with all things fiber and understanding how things work. She loves learning new skills and sharing her knowledge with others. Amanda spends most of her free time knitting, spinning, sewing, and weaving.

May Meeting:
Scrap Down with Skeinanigans!
Scrappy projects are fun, but it's hard to make sure your project doesn't turn out brown! We’ll begin with a bit of color theory, then delve into the tips and tricks Ellie's developed to make scrappy blankets fun and fuss-free.
Ellie (they/she) is a practitioner of many crafts living on beautiful Whidbey Island in Washington State.

We are always looking for volunteers to help sustain the guild. At this time, we are especially in need of volunteers to help make the in person meetings happen.
We've opened a shop at CafePress, so now you can show your love for Puddletown Knitters Guild! With so many items—t-shirts, bags, stickers, and more—to choose from, you're bound to find something you like.
Our mission is to promote a diverse community of knitters of all abilities, to support local fiber providers and artists from farm to needles, to model respect for the local fiber community by actively valuing their time and expertise.
