- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Saturday, January 17 • 2–4 PM

Ever wondered why everyone tells you to swatch, and whether you really have to? This workshop takes the mystery (and dread) out of swatching and blocking, giving you the tools to make garments that actually fit and finished projects that look their best.

Join designer and educator Elizabeth Margaret (One Wild Designs) for an interactive, conversational deep dive into the what, how, and why of swatching and blocking, for both knitters and crocheters. Elizabeth will share practical tips, real-life examples, and a brief blocking demonstration, along with the rare and magical moments when you can skip a swatch (yes, really).

This workshop is open to all levels and welcomes curious questions. No supplies are required, but you’re welcome to bring yarn and needles/hooks to swatch along, or a current project you’d like guidance on.

You’ll leave feeling confident, informed, and empowered to make better-fitting, better-looking projects without the guesswork.

About the Instructor:
Elizabeth Margaret is a St. Pete local by way of NYC and the designer behind One Wild Designs. She’s been knitting and crocheting since childhood and has published over 50 patterns since 2020. Elizabeth has taught technique and fit workshops in yarn shops across the country and online, helping makers of all levels feel more confident in their craft.
