Cornelia comes from a long line of artists and artisans, so it’s no surprise that an early introduction to photography helped set the tone for the structural positive/negative spatial interest of her knitting designs. She divides her time between Mariefred, Sweden and Atlanta, GA, designing and attending to her yarn line, Heaven’s Hand.

Cornelia will be teaching a morning class called “DropStitch Openwork™,”  a technique she recently developed in which knitted columns are worked between open geometric shapes without breaking the yarn.

In the afternoon, explore the knotty side of knitting! Placed imaginatively, knitted knots can lend textural interest to an otherwise simple silhouette. They can be worked in different colors and with a combination of yarns, too. (A good way even to use up some of your stash!)

Carol is an attorney by day and a knitting designer, teacher, author, and hand dyer by night. She is the author of a popular book of knitting factoids and anecdotes, Knitting Ephemera, as well as the Studio Series of books from Lark Crafts including Sock Yarn Studio, Lace Yarn Studio, and Self-Striping Yarn Studio. She also runs Black Bunny Fibers.

Carol will be at this year’s Yarnover teaching two classes that are invaluable for any knitter. In the morning, learn everything you ever wanted to know about yarn substitutions. In the afternoon, move beyond the basics of sock knitting in her “Socknitter’s Seminar.” 

Learn more in the Yarnover 2018 brochure; register for classes starting at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 6.

Josh, a.k.a. geoknittrix designs, is a color-obsessed knitter and designer. As a self-taught knitter, he has been altering patterns and challenging himself to learn since the moment a pair of sticks and string were put in his hands. Geometric lines and graphic color combos are two of his favorite things, and he’ll always have at least one shawl in his project bag!! He lives with his amazing husband and two adorably cute “su-purr-visors” in Minneapolis.

We are excited to bring Josh’s high energy and honed expertise to Yarnover for the first time this year! In “Short Row Shenanigans,” students will learn all about short rows. In “Lines, Texture, and Stripes, Oh My!,” students will learn how to make stripes *POP* using lace, texture, and color.

Learn more about Josh and his classes in the Yarnover 2018 brochure. And sign up for classes starting Saturday, January 6 at 8:00 a.m.!
