Do you find yourself knitting or crocheting the same simple shapes because patterns feel confusing or overwhelming? Or maybe you’ve tried to follow a pattern before and ended up frustrated? This class is designed to help you feel confident selecting and starting your next project—with two curated patterns included to get you going!
In this lecture-style class, we’ll walk through how to find and evaluate high-quality, tested patterns—both online (like Ravelry) and in print. You'll learn what all the parts of a pattern mean, how to know if a pattern has the right details for your skill level, and where to find patterns that suit your interests.
We'll also discuss the pros and cons of digital vs. print patterns, including how formatting can vary and how to choose what's best for you. As a bonus, you'll receive two patterns (one knit, one crochet), selected to be approachable and enjoyable to work on after class.
This class is ideal for both knitters and crocheters, whether you're just getting started or looking to expand your project horizons. If you have a pattern you'd love to try but aren't sure where to begin—bring it along!
Please note: This is not a stitching technique class, but rather a big-picture overview to help you feel confident in choosing and beginning new projects. Questions are welcome throughout!

Heather learned to crochet and sew as a young child. Her sewing stuck with her for years and then she picked up some knitting needles over 20 years ago never looking back. She eventually went back to her roots and started to crochet again. And as she has been falling down the fiber arts rabbit hole, she also enjoys spinning and weaving. Heather has coached youth sports since she was a youth and enjoys passing along her knowledge to help others take their interests to the next step. If you enjoy learning and laughing, you will definitely enjoy spending time at the table with Heather picking up a new skill.
