Andrea Mowry
After leaving her life as a pastry chef, Andrea's hands found the necessary freedom to begin creating with fiber instead of flour. She focuses on designing knits to fit the modern wardrobe – fun to knit and easy to wear. Andrea has a great love for indulging in new techniques and skills and then sharing them with other knitters thru her patterns and workshops. Her goal is to leave knitters feeling empowered, inspired, and wrapped up in their own beautiful knits! You can find her at www.dreareneeknits.com and everywhere else as DreaReneeKnits!
Fearless Steeking Workshop: Shake off the fear of steeking and leave with a wee stack of adorable coasters for all your knit night bevies! In this class we will let our hair down, cut some stitches and learn why cutting our knitting won't make it all fall apart. We will practice crochet reinforcement, picking up our stitches for a tidy edging, and of course, snipping our steeks!
*Please note that this class involves homework.*
Skill Level: The homework involves knitting stranded colorwork in the round, the actual class will include picking up stitches and knitting in the round.

Since learning to knit and spin at twenty, she’s pursued an entire life full of all things yarn!
