February 3, 2026 Guild Meeting In Person
AMY SNELL VISITS THE GUILD IN PERSON
The Right Yarn for the Job
Tuesday, February 3 from 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Many’s the sad knitter who has been lured into an unwise marriage of yarn-to-pattern by the flash of color in a pretty little variegated skein or the come-hither glance of mohair, only to realize too late that this pattern and that yarn were never meant to be together.
In this presentation, Amy shares some of the worst arranged yarn marriages of all time, then dives into common causes of mismatch and shares 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.
Learn more about Amy and her planned workshops here.
Guild Business Meeting: After Amy’s presentation, there will be a brief Guild business meeting.
Show and Share: Bring your finished items and show them off to your knitting friends! A completed Show and Share form is required for each item you share (limited to three, please) to be dropped off at the table when you enter the conference room before the meeting. You may download, print, and complete the Show and Share form in advance to bring with you.
Doors open at 12:00. The presentation will start promptly at 12:30, with the entire program ending at 2:30. The meeting will be held in the Encinitas Community Center, Room 142B; scroll to the bottom of this page for address and a map to the location.
