We are thrilled to announce a special event featuring the incredibly talented Melanie Berg, a designer whose passion for all things cozy and imaginative shines through in everything she creates. Whether you’re joining us via Zoom or attending our watch party at the shop, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
Melanie’s designs effortlessly merge modern sophistication with a touch of whimsy, drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature’s hues and textures. As an author of two bestselling books on shawls and a contributor to esteemed knitting publications, Melanie brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to the table.
During this event, Melanie will delve into the fascinating world of shawls, exploring different shapes and their typical constructions. You’ll learn about the various fabrics created with garter stitch, lace, and mosaic techniques, and discover how to wear and style each shape to look absolutely fabulous.
But that’s not all! Melanie will also share her design process, inspirations, and personal insights, giving you a unique opportunity to engage with one of the knitting world's most talented designers. The talk will last for about an hour, with additional time afterwards for a Q&A session where you can ask Melanie your burning questions.
After the event, we will be kicking off a knit-along (KAL) for Melanie’s stunning Verdon shawl. Be the first to get your hands on our beautiful limited edition kits specially prepared for this project and available that evening.
Additionally, we will have a selection of Jul buttons and shawl pins available for purchase. Our team will show you how to use these accessories to get the look Melanie demonstrates so you can you style your own shawls with exquisite accessories, that perfect finishing touch and keep your garments in place!
Melanie’s designs have found a home in the wardrobes of knitting enthusiasts across the globe, and now you have the chance to learn from her directly. Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock the endless possibilities of creativity and enhance your knitting skills.
Spaces are limited for the in-store event, so be sure to secure your spot. Whether you choose to join us via Zoom or come to the shop for the watch party, we look forward to knitting with you and exploring Melanie's wonderful world of shawls together!
We can't wait to see you there!
