I had only learned about the festival a few days before, but after looking at the list of workshops I immediately booked on to attend Introduction to Knitwear Design, run by Kate Atherley. At my old job at a well-known craft company, I was known for tweaking patterns and adapting designs to my own tastes - I think one person called it franken-knitting. After changing, altering and winging so many patterns, it was only natural that I had taken an interest in knitwear design. Designing and pattern writing would be a perfect next step, and a beginner's class at Unravel seemed like a fantastic place to start.
