Bridging the Stitches: What Knitters & Crocheters Can Learn from Each Other
Knitters, crocheters—let’s talk.
For as long as fiber arts have existed, there’s been this unspoken divide between knitting and crochet. But here’s the truth: we have SO much to learn from each other! Whether you’re a die-hard crocheter, a knitting purist, or a curious maker who dabbles in both, this conversation is for you.
And guess what? I’m diving into all of it in my upcoming Fiberside Chat on Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, at 1:00 PM Mountain Time!
What This Chat is All About
This isn’t just another craft talk—this is a deep dive into the unique strengths of both knitting and crochet, and how we can use them to level up our skills.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
🧶 Three things crocheters can steal (respectfully) from knitters—from techniques to mindset shifts that make projects shine.
🧵 Three things knitters can swipe from crocheters—because yes, crochet has some game-changing tricks that knitters can use too.
💡 The power of community—because fiber arts are more than just stitches; they’re about connection.
I’ll also be sharing my own story—how I picked up a crochet hook, fell in love with design, and found my place in this creative world. Plus, we’ll talk about The Makers of Color Collective and why inclusive, supportive spaces are so crucial for makers.
And because no fiber talk is complete without some eye candy, I’ll be showcasing patterns that blend both knit and crochet—proof that these crafts don’t have to compete; they can actually work beautifully together.
Why You Don’t Want to Miss This
This is more than just a chat; it’s a chance to expand how you think about fiber arts and to connect with a community that gets it.
