Grow Your Confidence with Kate

You’ve done it. You’ve mastered the physical action of knits and purls and maybe an increase or decrease or two. You have all of the building blocks right there at the ends of your pointy sticks. The knitting world is your knitted oyster!

Unless, of course, you want to make a knitted thing that looks similar to another knitted thing. Then that oyster snaps shut again once you look at a chart or a pattern.

What the heck does this diagonal rectangle mean? How does one parse a PSSO? When you increase “every 4th row,” where do you start counting?

Ooooof, you say, and knit one more garter stitch scarf.

Not that there’s anything wrong with a garter stitch scarf, mind. Sometimes, though, the spirit craves a new experience—and even seasoned knitters have backed away from a project (or ten) whose charts looked more like an engine schematic than a garment pattern.

MDK is here to guide the way.

Please join us for an afternoon with technical knitting whiz Kate Atherley. During this two-hour virtual workshop, Kate will share her best tips on reading patterns and charts. Your confidence will soar.

Kate is a veteran technical editor of knitting patterns and she’s developed sure-fire strategies for breaking down knitting patterns, charts, and schematics for a stress-free knitting experience.

With her as our guide, we won’t be intimidated by unfamiliar terminology or abbreviations or charts. We’ll decode them with ease. Consider Kate our Rosetta Stone.

But only not so stone-y. She’ll impart all this know-how with patience and great good humor. You’ll look forward to your next challenging project or revisit a pattern that once seemed out of reach.
