The Creative Connection

Lori Beitler and Susan Pestrichello will take the class through the trials, tribulations and excitement of developing Stitchuary.com, a new website that gives knitters year-round access to fresh-from-the-farm fibers.  Through their own experiences, they will help would-be entrepreneurs to develop a better understanding of many of the unforeseen hurdles that await them as they attempt to start up their own companies.  In addition, nationally recognized knitting designer Sunday Holm, who has published patterns and articles for several knitting sites and is one of Stitchuary.com’s featured designers, will guide participants through specific techniques and nuances in working with artisanal breed yarns.  The project will include a designer pattern for which one limited-edition skein of Stitchuary.com yarn is used.
