Small Business Saturday Workshop For New Knitters

Lifestyle
Written By Danielle Romanetti

Did you pick up a new fiber hobby while stuck at home? Are you ready to take it to the next level? This special event is a chance for you to check your work, ask any questions you have about knitting, and get some advice on the next step on your journey. Our instructors will help run you through some basic skills, give advice on how to grow as a knitter, and make recommendations on what you can do for the next project.

Registration is $20, and students may drop in any time during this three-hour event. Your registration fee will be credited to your account for the purchase of supplies for your next project!

Skills needed: Some basics. This is not a learn to knit class. Students should have started to learn on their own or in a previous class.

Materials: Please bring needles and yarn, and any projects you might want to show off.

Danielle, owner of the fibre space shop, has been knitting since the age of six or so, when she completed her first project – a Cabbage Patch doll scarf. A Pittsburgh native with a degree in international development, she moved to the D.C. area to find a job and quickly established a career in non profit management and fundraising. For extra cash, she decided to turn her hobby into a job and taught knitting classes in the evening at area shops. With a heavy dose of sarcasm and a tough love style of teaching, Danielle quickly developed a following of students – busy D.C. professionals looking for a creative outlet. In October 2006, she struck out on her own with Knit-a-Gogo, Inc. – offering knitting classes and events all over the D.C. metro area.  Before she knew it, Knit-a-Gogo had grown out of control and Danielle moved to the next natural step – a full service yarn shop. In July 2009 fibre space was born and has been rockin’ ever since. When she isn’t behind the scenes with a mocha in hand, Danielle is hanging with her daughter or lobbying for small business needs at City Hall.
