Ann Budd has parlayed her passion for knitting into a renowned career as teacher, designer and author of more than a dozen books. Ann's wide range of classic designs include hats, mittens, sweaters, skirts & socks - covering us head to toe in knitwear!
Each year she brings this acumen in-step with her other passion, raising awareness and supporting the fight against Alzhiemer’s by taking part in The Longest Day. Ann has designed a special shawl called Fading Memories using a stitch pattern that represents the increasing holes in the memories of those afflicted and a gradient colorway inspired by The Longest Day logo. Please join us in joining with Ann to learn all the details about supporting The Longest Day through this beautiful pattern and yarns.
In addition, during the pandemic Ann's been knitting socks one right after the other, and will share years of experience fine tuning the art of making the perfect fitting sock and other tips during her chat!
