About AMY SNELL
Amy Snell is a knitting instructor and designer with an eye for the unusual or unusually captivating. She enjoys teaching techniques and stitch patterns that bring color, contrast, geometry, and texture into knitting in new or interesting ways.
Whether teaching locally in the San Francisco Bay area, virtually, or in-person for knitting guilds and events nationwide, Amy loves to help other knitters explore new techniques and expand the way they think about their knitting. Her goal is to make complex concepts approachable for all knitters, while sharing tips that improve your process whether you’ve been knitting for several weeks or several decades.
In her presentation, “The RIght Yarn for the Job,” Amy will share some of the worst arranged yarn marriages of all time, then dive into common causes of mismatch and guidelines for making smarter yarn pairings. You’ll learn about color compatibility, why fiber content matters, the sneakiness of superwash, and best practices for finding your yarny happy-ever-after.
Amy’s work has appeared in numerous books and periodicals including Cast On, Interweave Knits, Knotions, I Love Knitting, and numerous pattern collections. She frequently shares tips and tricks on her website, www.DeviousKnitter.com, and can be found as @DeviousKnitter on social media.
