Fiberside Chats with Brittany Garber - March 2, 2025

Bridging the Stitches: What Knitters & Crocheters Can Learn from Each Other

Knitters and crocheters may speak different stitch languages, but there’s so much we can learn from each other. In this engaging and thought-provoking session, we’ll explore:  
- 3 things crocheters can learn from knitters – From techniques to mindset shifts, discover how knit wisdom can elevate your crochet game.  
- 3 things knitters can learn from crocheters – Unlock the versatility and creativity of crochet to enhance your knitting journey. 
To bring these lessons to life, I’ll showcase patterns that share a knit and crochet version through Britt's Sisters Not Twins Project with Sönna Schuttner, proving just how beautiful & complementary these crafts can be. 

Along the way, I’ll share my personal story—how I stumbled into crochet, fell in love with design, and carved out a space in the fiber world. We'll also dive into the Makers of Color Collective and why building an inclusive, supportive community is essential for every maker’s journey. 
Whether you knit, crochet, or dabble in both, this Chat will leave you ready to expand your craft in new ways.  Come with an open mind, and leave with fresh ideas, new patterns, and maybe even a newfound love for the "other" craft.
