Ann Budd

The Relationship Between Sweater Construction and Design
Sweaters are characterized by the way the sleeves are joined to the body. In this one-hour Chat Ann Budd will outline the basics of six sweater types—Circular Yoke, Raglan, Drop Shoulder, Modified-Drop Shoulder, Set-In Sleeve, and Saddle Shoulder. The construction type influences how the sleeves meet the body of a sweater and, consequently, how that sweater fits the upper body. Each type lends itself to distinct design possibilities, whether knitted from the bottom up or from the top down, and whether knitted in pieces or seamlessly. You'll leave the Chat with a better understanding of how sweater design is closely tied to sweater construction.
This is a live Zoom Event on Sunday, May 18th at 1:00pm EDT, 12:00pm CDT, 11:00am MDT, 10:00am PDT
This Fiberside Chat will be recorded - a link to the recording will be available for one week and shared with registered attendees only.

Explore Mosaic Knitting with Kate Oates
You need not be an experienced knitter or even a knitter with experience in stranded colorwork to learn Mosaic Knitting. This technique is quite different! Mosaic Colorwork is a method of creating striking, two-color patterns by working with only one color per row and using slipped stitches to form the design. This makes it an accessible and rewarding technique for knitters of all levels. Kate will cover how to choose suitable yarns and fibers, how to read Mosaic charts, how to manage floats, and how to slip stitches without twisting them. We’ll also explore how to select effective color combinations that enhance contrast and stitch definition. She will demonstrate each technique on the needles, and you’ll have the opportunity to knit-along through swatching. Kate will provide a handout for you to use to continue practicing beyond the Chat to gain confidence in your skills. Next thing you know, you’ll be ready to begin a full project—such as Kate’s upcoming design, Versa (pictured), which features Mosaic Colorwork.
To knit-along with Kate's demonstration have on-hand two contrasting colors of scrap worsted or DK weight yarn (you'll just be using them for practice so don't worry if they aren't ideal) and a 16"(40 mm) circular needles appropriate for yarn choice.

NEW DATE: June 15, 2025
Through the Designer's Eyes: Forecasting Your Sweater's Story
Knitting sweaters is most satisfying when we are happy with the outcome. In this session with Jen Parroccini, we’ll talk about how to evaluate and interpret the information available to us - and when to ask for more. We’ll cover:
- Schematics and how they relate to your measurements
- The role of ease
- Whether your size will look like the modeled size
- Spotting design elements that might not work for you (such as insufficient front neck depth, or too much fabric in the underarm)
- Gathering information from official photos
- Weighing and interpreting other knitters’ projects
If you've ever been intimidated to start your first sweater, felt overwhelmed by the endless pattern options, or ended up with a finished garment that didn’t quite turn out as you envisioned, this Fiberside Chat is for you - because honestly, we've all been there and don't want to go back!
