Garden Inspired Floral Knitting Workshop

Amy Wentley, ChaiKnuckles Knitting

• Thursday, February 16, 2023 – 10:00 am–1:00 pm

Knitting can be a great way to get through the winter months while waiting to get back to the gardens you love. Join with fellow knitting gardeners to learn botanical inspired themes to incorporate into your next knitting project.

This workshop, led by Amy Wentley, will show you various knitting techniques to create flowers, leaves, stems and branches. Amy will provide knitting patterns, and each participant will work on two knitted blocks during the workshop and take home pattern ideas for more knitting projects!

Note: Participants are asked to know how to knit at a beginner level. Amy will provide yarn, and she asks that you bring knitting needles in size US7(4.5mm) or US8(5.0mm).

About Amy Wentley

Amy has been knitting most of her life and explored many other crafts including crocheting, quilting, bead making, weaving and spinning. About twelve years ago, she embraced knitting and began teaching on the advice of her son who said, "Mom, you should knit more. Knitting makes you happy!" Since then, Amy has been teaching knitting in person and on Zoom. She loves to teach beginners and to lead her students to grow and embrace challenges. She draws on her previous career as a technical writer and corporate event planner to translate complicated patterns for intermediate and advanced knitters and turn that information into engaging classes that help her students achieve impressive results. She has written an e-book, "Basic Socks for Everyone" and an award-winning pattern "Baby Turtle Frenzy Blanket," both available on Ravelry. Amy offers over 100 videos on her YouTube Channel providing instruction on techniques supporting the many classes she taught. Follow her on her Chai Knuckles Knitting YouTube channel.
